During CB South's program planning window, this year's sophomores and juniors have the exciting opportunity to register for one of two new classes: Principles of Teaching and Community Internship.

Principles of Teaching is a course for future teachers or for students who are actively considering becoming a teacher. Students would learn the principles of teaching and leave South to work alongside a mentor teacher in CBSD, providing help and instruction in the classroom. Community Internship is a course for students who want to "try on" another career. Students would learn the fundamentals of professionalism, leadership, and communication and leave South to work alongside an internship mentor in the career of their choosing.

These two courses and programs are brand new to CB South and are both incredible opportunities for your sons and daughters.

The 2025–26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now available to all students and families at StudentAid.gov/FAFSA. FAFSA submission is REQUIRED to be considered for financial aid. Some schools also require the CSS Profile (see individual college’s financial aid websites to determine what is required).

Many colleges use the SAT or ACT as part of their admissions process. Students should consider taking either the SAT or ACT after they have completed Algebra 2. This will ensure they have covered the Math content that is on these exams. Typically, juniors test in the spring of junior year but every student must determine when they feel most ready.

Registration for the SAT/ACT is directly through the organization’s website (NOT through CBSD/MyPaymentsPlus). Do not wait until the week of the registration deadline (typically the month prior to the test date) to register as the site often crashes or is slow in the days prior to the deadline. To register for these exams, please use these links:
