Welcome to CPCS
The mission of Chesapeake Public Charter School is to offer each student a unique educational experience within a reflective learning community. Through a modified school calendar, multi-age students in small class settings will engage in a curriculum of meaningful connections and diverse perspectives. This engagement will be achieved using technology, the environment, the arts and community resources. This school will provide a safe, orderly, caring and joyful reflective atmosphere in which respect for all is evident and the outcome of empowered, self-directed learners is expected. Our goal is to build a solid foundation for higher education and the desire to continue learning, growing, sharing, and contributing in multiple capacities throughout each person’s life.
Drinking Water Test Results
CPCS Water Testing 2022
In compliance with the new Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) regulations, all drinking water outlets served by a community water supply were sampled for testing.
A recent water test revealed that 1 out of 84 water sources here in the building had higher than the recommended level of lead. This sink is used as a hand washing station and not for consumption. Please contact Pam McLeod if you have any questions or concerns at 301-863-9585 ext. 48102
