CIAS CAMPUS SCHOOL
Many K5-12 students in the local community attend the CIAS Campus School. Students may attend school full-time (5 days per week), part-time (1-4 days per week) as Hybrid students, take group classes, or get tutoring lessons.
​​
GRADE-LEVEL CLASSROOMS
Our grade levels are grouped into the following classes:
Early Elementary K5-1st
Early Elementary 2nd-3rd
Upper Elementary 4th-5th
Middle School 6th-8th
High School 9th-12th
​
LOW TEACHER-STUDENT RATIOS
CIAS purposefully keeps our teacher-student ratios low so that our teachers are able to address the learning needs of all our students, providing small-group learning opportunities, activity-based learning, and one-on-one tutoring as needed. The lowest ratio is in early elementary: 1:6, and the highest ratio is in middle school: 1:13.
​
TEACHER TEAMS
CIAS follows Dr. Marilyn Friend's "The Power of 2" model of organizing teacher teams. Our teacher teams consist of various combinations of teaching staff, including but not limited to the following:
-
2 Co-Teachers (GENED + SPED)
-
2 Co-teachers (2 GENED)
-
Lead teacher + Teacher's Assistant
-
Lead teacher + 2 Teacher's Assistants
-
Lead teacher + Teacher's Assistant + Classroom Aide
​
SPECIAL EDUCATION/ESE/NEURODIVERGENT STUDENTS
Special education/ESE/neurodivergent students are integrated into regular general education classrooms and receive multiple levels of Response to Intervention (RTI), intervention with varying tiers of accommodations and modifications, maintaining academic rigor to target learning objectives and standards of learning (SOLs) in a least restrictive environment (LRE).
DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING & PLACEMENT ASSESSMENTS
All students who apply and are admitted to the CIAS Campus School complete a complete and thorough battery of Diagnostic Screening & Placement Assessments in the following subjects, including but not limited to the following instruments:
-
English: grammar, mechanics, and sentence structure
-
Math: foundational knowledge and grade-level placement'
-
Reading: decoding/reading fluency, silent reading comprehension, auditory/oral reading comprehension, curriculum placement
-
Learning Modality/Style
-
Multiple Intelligences Analysis
-
Explode the Code phonics screening (Orton-Gillingham)
-
Barton System screening (Orton-Gillingham)
These Diagnostic Tests are then graded and evaluated, and the CIAS Principal meets with the Campus School teacher teams to prescribe an individualized curriculum plan accordingly. We then arrange a Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) 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.
​
SCHOLARSHIPS
CIAS accepts Step Up For Students scholarships; see our SCHOLARSHIPS webpage for more information. We also offer the "Daniel Patrick Jones, Jr. Scholarship," in honor of our Founder, to students who have financial need.
​
FULL-TIME SCHOOL
When students attend CIAS full-time, five days a week, their Teacher Teams facilitate 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 SUFS scholarship students may attend the CIAS Campus School full-time.
​
PART-TIME/HYBRID
When students attend CIAS part-time, one to four days a week, their Teacher Teams facilitate 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.
​
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 8-22 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. For registration information, please email the school office.​​

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
