With the current 1,153 student population, it has survived the test of time despite the tight but healthy competitions among schools in the vicinity.

CCT’s program is organized into three levels: the pre–elementary, elementary, secondary and collegiate. All of these are coordinated by an integrated curriculum that provides a spectrum of challenging opportunities throughout. To achieve educational excellence and intellectual vitality, the program incorporates full-length teaching and learning styles and discipline, with special emphasis on the interdisciplinary and team approaches. Student learning and growth are also achieved through creating a small community of learners within the group to closely monitor student learning for better student development. Both the curricular and extra curricular programs encourage the students to develop to their maximum potentials.

The faculty is the heart of the school. At present, it has a total of 77 teachers in elementary, high school and college. The CCT teachers are experts in their own fields of specialization who established high standards of teaching and learning.

Teachers establish special relationships among its students making the teaching personal, creative and exciting. The faculty waste no time in ensuring everyone is on task as the daily activities begin. The style of always making students connected from time to time even when the students want otherwise gives a personal touch that goes far beyond the classroom reaching out to the families of the students. This is done so that every faculty will always be in touch with their students to closely monitor their progress and, in so doing, there will be “No Child Left Behind” at the end of the school year. These are the teachers of CCT.

The Unified School or the Basic Education Department challenges students to achieve high levels of learning by actively participating in the experiential learning activities to make them highly competent in all the domains of the curriculum preparing them to the academic rigors of collegiate life. It is in this level where students are being challenged to a new paradigm of not only excelling in academics but more so in character. Character development will lead to success and excellence in academic achievement. True excellence is excellence in character. In keeping with the challenge, CCT affirms its role as a Christ – Centered community of learners committed to its core principles of Commitment, Communion, Discipline, and Diligence, as it continues to flourish through the tough years of its existence .
