A new school with an old soul.

Our founding

Built by nurses who never left the bedside.

CSHS was founded by nurse educators who spent their careers in hospitals, classrooms, and living rooms across Los Angeles. We watched talented caregivers, many of them immigrants, parents, and career changers, get turned away from healthcare careers by programs that were too rigid, too impersonal, or too far away.

So we built the school we wished existed: close to home in the San Fernando Valley, scheduled around real lives, taught in plain language, and serious about the standards that keep patients safe. Our name honors the Corinthian column, the most ornate of the classical orders. Not because we are ornate, but because the capital carries the weight. That is what caregivers do.
