The CCSC Mission

Community Charter School of Cambridge combines challenging academics with creative use of technology and real-world experience to prepare a diverse student body, grades 7–12, for postsecondary success and productive citizenship. CCSC students are excellent problem solvers and communicators who contribute to their community through internships and other field experiences. Design Principles
•    Ensure a challenging academic program for every student. 

•    Personalization: Know every student very well. 

•    Build adult-world connections by placing students in internships at partnering community sites and engaging students in curriculum with meaningful ties to the surrounding community.


Curriculum and Program
The CCSC mission stresses active, personalized learning and authentic connections to the world beyond the school. All students are required to take a full, integrated core program composed of the following academic classes:

Humanities
Mathematics
Science
Spanish or Learning Lab
Wellness and Movement
DEAR (Drop Everything and Read)
Enrichment
Advisory

In addition, all students participate in a daily school community meeting and many stay after school to participate in a faculty-run Homework Club or one of several sports or clubs. All 10th grade students take MCAS Prep (some of which is woven into their core classes), and 11th and 12th grade students take SAT Prep.
