Academic Standards
At the CSS, we believe that student-athletes should endeavor to pursue excellence in all areas of life, including academics. While we understand that student-athletes may have different academic abilities, we believe that all student-athletes have the potential to demonstrate excellent work habits at both CSS and at their regular schools. Therefore our academic standards require that our student-athletes earn all “Excellent” (E) and/or “Good” (G) for work habit marks on their report cards. Student-athletes who earn a “Satisfactory” (S) or a “Needs Improvement” (N) would be placed on academic probation for one term to give them an opportunity to improve the work habit mark. A progressive disciplinary action would follow should students not be able to improve their work habit marks, including suspension and potential dismissal from the CSS program.
CSS Applicants may apply with deficient work habit standards, however applicants will not be admitted until their final report card in June shows all E’s and G’s.
Student-Athletes are encouraged to be proactive and speak with their teachers to gain a clear understanding of what each of their teachers require to meet “Excellent” or “Good” work habit marks in each class. We encourage athletes to check-in regularly with their teachers for personal feedback and to ensure that there are no surprises on report card day.
