CIAS CAMPUS SCHOOL
CAMPUS SCHOOL
Many students in our student body attend the CIAS Campus School. Students may attend full time (five days per week), part time (one to four days per week), or they may come as floaters, take group classes, or receive tutoring lessons.
Students are admitted to the CIAS Campus School after they complete Diagnostic Testing in English, Math, Reading, and Learning Modality/Style. These Diagnostic Tests are then graded and evaluated, and an individualized curriculum plan is prescribed by CIAS Principal Mary Beth Jones accordingly. We then arrange a Consultation appointment to meet with parents of new students to review and explain the test results and discuss the individualized curriculum plan and their child's attendance schedule.
FULL TIME SCHOOL
When students attend CIAS full-time, five days a week, their Lead Teacher, along with Assistant Teachers, facilitates their education, creating a positive academic environment where our students thrive and grow academically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically. Full-time students receive a variety of educational services, including, but not limited to, lesson planning, tutoring, study help and instruction, assistance, monitoring, and supervision. All scholarship students (Step Up FTC & Gardiner/PLSA and McKay) attend the CIAS Campus School full-time.
PART TIME SCHOOL
When students attend CIAS part-time, one to four days a week, their Lead Teacher, along with Assistant Teachers, facilitates their education, creating a positive academic environment where our students thrive and grow academically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically. Part-time students receive a variety of educational services, including, but not limited to, lesson planning, tutoring, study help and instruction, assistance, monitoring, and supervision. On the days that they are not at the Campus School, they complete schoolwork assignments at home under the supervision of parents or guardians.
FLOATERS
When students attend CIAS as a floater, one to four days a week, they bring their schoolwork to school, know what their assignments are, and work in the CIAS school environment. They do not receive tutoring, study help, or instruction. They do receive assistance, monitoring, and supervision.
CLASSES
CIAS offers various classes every school year for multiple grade levels. We believe that classroom learning is a valuable part of a well-rounded student's academic background. Our classes of approximately 8-20 students provide an ideal environment for students to safely learn and grow in their knowledge and understanding of academic subjects in a small classroom setting.
Here is a comprehensive list of all classes that we may offer to our students, as well as to the local homeschool community. You can find detailed class info on our Classes webpage HERE. For registration information, please email us about this school year's classes!

NO BULLYING POLICY
"Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose."
CIAS is a NO BULLY ZONE. This means that the staff works hard to advocate for and manitain a bully-free environment where our students feel safe. Our students sign a Student Conduct Code which states the following:
-
I will not tease with the intention of belittling or hurting another person’s feelings; I will not tease a person about unchangeable features.
-
I will not be mean; I will not say hurtful comments about anyone.
-
I will not gossip about teachers or other students, sowing discord and dissention.
-
I will not indulge in inappropriate touching or rough-housing, however innocent my intentions.
-
I will not fight with other students; I will not hit another person with the intent of hurting them
