Company Overview
CSS was founded in 1912 under the sponsorship of the Benedictine Sisters, with a mission of providing intellectual and moral preparation for responsible living and meaningful work within the context of Catholic Benedictine values.

The values at the heart of the College mission---community, hospitality, respect, stewardship, and love of learning---animate the college community experience.
