About CCA
COVENANTAL – Partnering with committed Christian families from evangelical churches
As part of a covenant community, CCA partners with the home and church to provide quality education without discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin. We welcome families from evangelical churches who desire their children not only to excel academically but also to grow as members of God’s kingdom. Our small size and multi-grade classrooms allow for an ideal teacher-to-student ratio, a more realistic learning environment, and a family-style community where children learn, work, and play together across different grade levels.
CHRISTIAN – Developing a Biblical worldview, every day, in every subject
At CCA, students find a safe environment in which all aspects of a traditional education are combined with godly character training to develop the whole child. We address not only the intellect, but also the heart, so that students may grow in wisdom and in their ability to serve God and others in society. Daily Bible classes, weekly chapel, hymns and Scripture memory — all these form a the foundation for the integration of the Christian faith in all areas of life.
ACADEMIC – Pursuing excellence for God’s glory, along with a love for learning
Every subject is taught on the basis of Scripture and to the highest possible academic standards according to each child’s ability, as demonstrated by our consistently high academic performance. Our curriculum is drawn from several excellent publishers, and classwork is supplement by fieldtrips, guest speakers, and a variety of academic competitions.
