Comprehensive ESL program
At CPS, we understand the importance of a strong foundation in English. Our ESL program begins with an initial assessment that evaluates each student’s reading, writing, listening, and speaking abilities. This assessment allows us to place students in the right level, ensuring they receive targeted instruction that meets their language learning needs. Our goal is to help each student build confidence and proficiency in English, setting them up for success in all areas of study.
Individualized Pathway
Every student’s journey is unique, and CPS is committed to supporting individualized pathways. We work with students to establish personalized goals and flexible schedules tailored to their strengths, interests, and future aspirations. Our guidance team collaborates with students to explore post-secondary options, ensuring that each pathway aligns with their long-term objectives.
Monitoring Student Achievement
Student progress is continuously monitored to provide timely support and guidance. Teachers, guidance counselors, and administrators hold regular student success meetings to review individual achievements and challenges. Next steps are developed, and parents are kept informed, fostering a collaborative approach to each student’s growth. This proactive support system allows CPS to address any obstacles early, ensuring students stay on track and feel supported throughout their educational journey.
Period 5 – Homework and Academic Support
CPS offers a unique Period 5, a 55-minute session dedicated to homework assistance, academic support, and skill-building activities. During this time, students can seek help with assignments, receive tutoring, or participate in enrichment activities based on their interests and academic needs. Period 5 provides an additional layer of support, helping students consolidate their learning and build confidence in their abilities.

At CPS, Student Council representatives lead student voices. The council ensures that students’ opinions, concerns, and ideas are heard and considered when it comes to matters that directly affect their educational experience. It also provides an avenue for students to develop and refine their leadership skills by allowing them to take on responsibilities, make decisions, and work collaboratively with their peers and school staff.
