As has happened for many private schools, CSCS has grown during COVID-19. CSCS re-opened earlier than public schools in its area.[5] CSCS' students' problems dealing with Covid were addressed in a 2021 event.[6]
The Woodland Park campus was opened in 2005 as a K-5 school, and added 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels successively in 2019, 2020, 2021.[7]
Notable alumni
- Zach Filkins, lead guitarist of pop rock band OneRepublic[8][9]
- Nichole Nordeman, singer-songwriter
- Ryan Tedder, lead vocalist of OneRepublic. Filkins and Tedder were students in their senior year at CSCS when they joined up to form their first band, which evolved into OneRepublic.[8][9]
