As has happened for many private schools, CSCS has grown during COVID-19. CSCS re-opened earlier than public schools in its area.[5] CSCS' students' problems dealing with Covid were addressed in a 2021 event.[6]

The Woodland Park campus was opened in 2005 as a K-5 school, and added 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels successively in 2019, 2020, 2021.[7]
