Vision
for CCES:
"My vision for CCES is that we should never be a school that
is satisfied with the status quo. We should always be crystal clear
regarding our core identity and heritage as a pre-collegiate Episcopal
school, yet still maintain the institutional imagination and flexibility
that will allow us to optimally prepare our students for a very
complex, interconnected, global world. Living consciously into this
vision every day as an institution will put us on a pathway to true
excellence and preeminence."
