Quotes:

Chasely (Past student):

“We have met friends from places we may never visit; heard languages we may never speak; experienced cultures we may never understand, and yet, when it comes to friendship, none of it ever really matters.”

Amy (Current student)

“The key to boarding is getting involved. As boarders we practically live at school, we have the biggest advantage over the day girls. So ….grasp the opportunity.”

Jenny (Past student)

“I like the CC Boarding House because everyone is treated as an individual and each person’s accomplishments are acknowledged.”
