Curriculum and Special Programs:
CSSM offers a rigorous flow of coursework throughout each student’s four years. Students, in uniform, begin each school day at 8:00 a.m. and finish at 3:18 p.m. to accommodate extended block scheduling. Students take two science courses in each of their first two years, completing all of the state science requirements in that time period. In their third and fourth years, students take higher level advanced placement courses in Biology, Chemistry or Physics, or engage in postsecondary educational opportunities. Throughout a student’s time at CSSM, opportunities for supplemental learning outside of the classroom are provided. Such activities include viewing live surgeries at world-renowned medical institutions, tours of medical and science museums in the area, and semester-long research projects with Case Western Reserve University medical students
