Life at CCA



 

Curriculum

The academic program at CCA is demanding.   All students (except kindergarten) have homework at least three times a week.   Our unique cyclical review program insures that students will retain what they have learned.   A variety of special activities, field trips, and projects provide practical and motivational inputs.

Elementary Program (K4 - 5th grade)
CCA strives strives to create an atmosphere that is conducive to academic excellence in writing, arithmetic, spelling, social studies and science and growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.   The lessons are characterized by drill, repetition, memory work and games.
