In addition to courses on the CCHS campus, students can apply to participate in specialized programs that meet at off-campus locations.

A cohort of CCHS students attend Mountain Vista Governor's School to take advanced math, science, humanities, and research courses once they enter their sophomore, junior, and senior years. Additionally, through a partnership with Germanna Community College, students are offered the opportunity to enroll in Germanna Scholars. The successful completion of the Germanna Scholars program allows students to earn an associate degree before high school graduation. [4]
