ABOUT US
"...With Christ Jesus as the Cornerstone..."
Ephesians 2:20
WHY CORNERSTONE?
Hint: It's a whole lot more than just praying in class.
ACADEMICS
CCA has a rigorous academic standard, supported by small class sizes (capped at 15 students) and lots of individualized instruction. Teachers at CCA are trained in differentiated instruction so that they can tailor each student's learning to their specific needs.
In addition, CCA uses reputable Christian curriculum to ensure that each subject is taught from a Biblical perspective, and we do lots of hands-on learning!
FAITH
"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" (Mark 8:36) Of course, we want our students to be prepared academically so that they can "gain the whole world", but we also put a heavy emphasis on spiritual development to ensure that they are able to fight the barrage of un-biblical ideas in our culture today and can be confident in standing up for truth.
Students participate in daily Bible class, weekly chapel services, missions month, and various service projects throughout the year to "inspire them to love and serve God and others", as our mission states.
CHARACTER
We want every child to succeed, not only academically and spiritually, but also personally and morally, so that they are prepared for whatever career or life paths come their way. CCA Students develop skills and character traits that will serve them well as they go through life, including critical thinking, responsibility, leadership, honesty, integrity, and a good work ethic.
GROUNDED IN THE GOSPEL
Everything at CCA, from curriculum and staffing to programming and discipline, is grounded in the gospel. Teachers are trained in Biblical integration and our policies and procedures are rooted in Biblical truth.
MENTORING
Everyone who is involved in the educational process at CCA is a believer. This means that every administrator, teacher, staff member, and even volunteer, will be investing in the lives of the students and showing them what it means to be a Christ-follower.
HOME, SCHOOL, CHURCH
CCA partners with parents and churches to "train up a child in the way he should go" (Prov. 22: 6). This partnership is commonly referred to as the "three-legged stool". Each leg is crucial to create a well-balanced, effective foundation for a student.
"Whenever there's a teachable moment, I want a believer there."
