                  Huff Learning Center 
An Individualized Approach to Learning

One measure of a great school is how well it meets the challenges of individual differences while striving for excellence.  At CCS, these differences are celebrated as evidence of the unique creation of each child.  Teachers in the Huff Learning Center individualize the learning process to ensure that each student achieves academic success.  For each student, they coordinate a Team Action Plan which includes the home, the classroom teacher, and the Learning Center itself.  Successful intervention in targeted areas brings rewarding gains in an academically challenging curriculum.  CCS is blessed to have the Huff Learning Center for students that may need help in Skill Building or the NILD (National Institute for Learning Development) program.  There is an additional cost for this program.
