Frequently
Asked Questions |

n
Why do you only offer grades
K5 through 10th?
As the church pastoral staff prayed regarding God's desire for us to do a
school, two things became evident. It had to be God's will for us and we
needed to do it right. After much prayer and having the opportunity to
visit other schools, it became apparent that it would be best for the church and
the community to start small and grow into the school.
n
Will you be adding additional grades?
YES! Each year we plan on adding an additional grade.
We began in 2007
offering grades K4 through 4th. We will eventually be offering grades
K5-12th.

education, to grow in a personal faith in Jesus Christ and
to serve the Lord, their families, and their communities.
n
Are parents welcome to be involved at CCA?
As we step out in faith on this huge endeavor, we know that
that parent volunteers will be essential in the operation of
the school. We pray that parents can become involved
in all aspects of CCA.
n
Do CCA students wear a uniform?
We have a 'Standard of Dress" for our students to wear.
A standard of dress
helps students to focus on Christ by eliminating undue focus
on clothing and designer labels and a preoccupation with
outward appearance. We want to be imitators of God by
focusing on the heart. Please refer to our Student
Handbook for details.

child care before and/or after school?
