A Note to Our Families
We kindly ask that if you have any concerns or if we did not meet your expectations, please reach out to Angela Keathley directly by email or phone. CCS is happily opening its doors to welcome homeschooled students as part of their program and to integrate them as much as possible. We are committed to making this a positive experience for everyone, and your feedback is invaluable as we grow together.
Umbrella/Tuition Payments
We apologize for the delay in sending out our billing statements. Please know that no payment is late—this delay is entirely on our end due to some set-up and connection issues. Your first payment will be due on September 15th. We appreciate your grace as we get everything in order.
School Picture Day – September 15th
Homeschool students may have their photos taken between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Arrival & Security
-
Please enter through the Gathering Space (the weekday entrance).
-
All parents must go through security. Have your driver’s license ready.
Forms
-
Please complete a separate form HERE for each student before picture day.
- Students must be registered in order to have their photos taken.
- These photos are for your use only. Homeschool umbrella students will not be in the CCS yearbook. With the number of students we have, the cost rises A LOT. Therefore we are pursuing other options.
Seniors
If you plan to participate in graduation, you must have a formal graduation photo.
The make-up day for senior portraits will be 7:30 a.m. on 9/15/26 in the Chapel. Please make sure your senior is on time so that this can be completed before the start of school. Girls should wear a camisole shirt underneath their school uniform that can easily be adjusted for the formal drape photo. Boys should wear a plain white shirt underneath their uniform for their formal tux photo.
There is a $35 sitting fee that can be paid at the time of portraits with a card or cash.
Annual Counselor Meeting Requirement - 9th - 12th students ONLY
All high school students and their parents are required to meet with the high school counselor once per year.

Educational Freedom Scholarship Information
We are an umbrella program registered with the State of Tennessee as a Category IV non-public school and are also a University Model High School. Because of this classification, we cannot accept Educational Freedom Scholarships (EFS)—those are reserved for Category I, II, and III schools. A Category IV umbrella program will never be eligible to use EFS. We are beginning the accreditation process to become a Category II for the Upper Middle school, which will allow us to accept EFS funding in the future. We are NOT eligible at this time.
