High School Customized Programs

Our experience in designing Spanish language and culture curricula for CC-CS students in Spain, Cuba, and Argentina allows us to create unique high school customized programs. Through the established Centers, high school students participating in a Customized Program have the unique opportunity of earning college-credit. These programs may run alongside CC-CS University Programs through an Integrated Program or have a customized curriculum through an Independent Program. For teachers looking for a short-term, non-credit educational travel program, CC-CS also offers customized Cultural Travel programs.

Integrated Programs

CC-CS Integrated Programs take advantage of our established curriculum while adapting to your high school's academic focus. You may rely exclusively on CC-CS courses (Fully Integrated) or combine CC-CS coursework with your own tailored courses (Partially Integrated). These programs run alongside our Winter Term, Summer, Semester and Academic Year programs.

Sample Integrated Program
Concord High School, NH

Independent Programs

CC-CS Independent Programs provide you with the flexibility to define your own curriculum while relying on our experienced on-site faculty. You may rely exclusively on CC-CS faculty to teach all of the courses while an accompanying faculty member leads students in group projects, volunteer work, or cultural visits (Fully-Designed Independent), or an accompanying faculty member may design and teach one or more courses while reserving the option to add CC-Cs faculty-taught courses (Jointly -Designed Independent).

Cultural Travel

In addition to academic programs, CC-CS is pleased to offer educational cultural travel opportunities to high school groups. Although these programs are not-for-credit, we design these customized travel programs to meet the individual needs of the classroom and promote a strong focus upon cultural authenticity and language practice. Groups may wish to travel throughout Spain learning about the mosaic of cultures that have formed Spanish society or they may wish to stay with a host family and focus upon the culture of their host region. Whatever the educational goals, the CC-CS high school group leader works with a CC-CS representative to plan the ideal cultural travel experience.
