School Overview

Continuous Curriculum School (CCS), located in Spokane Valley, Washington, is a unique K-8 institution within the Central Valley School District that operates on a year-round, balanced calendar. Unlike traditional schools that follow a long summer break, CCS utilizes an intersession model—typically nine weeks of instruction followed by three weeks of break throughout the year. This structure is designed to minimize "summer slide," allowing students to retain information more effectively while providing frequent opportunities for rest or supplemental academic enrichment during intersession periods.

The school is defined by a strong emphasis on community and parent involvement, reflecting its history as a choice program where families actively participate in the educational environment. The curriculum focuses on maintaining academic momentum through a consistent, steady pace of learning. By spreading the 180-day school year across twelve months, Continuous Curriculum School aims to create a less stressful, more focused learning experience that caters to students who thrive in a predictable, high-engagement setting.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
