Maybe I'm the only one confused over "curriculum" here. Apparently it can mean the mandatory courses that everyone takes, or, the greater range of courses including options available--but not taken by all students. That might explain why celestial is described as both IN and OUT of the "curriculum" depending on which use of the word is applied. (And I have no idea which is considered correct in current usage, in the US or abroad.) From what Joel describes VOST and CSTNS are optional programs, so that whatever they are offering is not part of the standard curriculum for ALL students, but rather an option available only to some of them?
