"What I appreciate most about CSA is my teachers. In my Entrepreneurship class, Ms. Maria Isabel supported me greatly with my project. She wasn’t just a teacher, but a mentor; she went above and beyond to make sure the project turned out as best as possible. That’s what makes the school unique—teachers are not just there to do their job; they build meaningful relationships with their students."
