Making next-generation disciples of Christ
Information Meeting
CCA is committed to partner with parents in developing the academic, athletic, creative, and moral virtues of students to become Christian
disciples who are ready to fulfill their specific God-given purpose.
Our Mission
About CCA• CCA is a “boot camp” where
disciples are trained, not a “summer camp” for un-churched families.
• CCA is A-denominational.
• CCA is serious about putting Christ at the center of all it does.
• Discipline is heart-focused, not rule-focused.
CCA Educational Philosophy• Each student is created by God with a unique set of
virtues. • This virtue set is given specifically to suit the individual for
blessing them and fulfilling God’s plan for them, their families, and for the world.
• Christian/Biblical education seeks to provide an environment whereby each individual’s virtue set may be maximally developed.

How We Maximize Learning
Studies indicate that learning (as retained, transferable knowledge) increases as homework load increases at first, but if homework load increases past a critical point, learning quickly decreases.
At CCA homework is purposeful and regulated depending on the age of the student. Workload is gradually increased as students approach college age and autonomous transfer increases. This way, learning is always optimized.
