Families

Deeply Committed, Involved Families. Our families and staff develop strong, authentic relationships to support our students’ success. Relationships are rooted in mutual respect, trust, and transparency, and marked by regular, consistent communication. Our families regularly give feedback, participate in campus events and activities, and collaborate and problem-solve with us to make the school a place where every student can thrive.

“My daughters are truly happy to be a part of the CCA community. My oldest has loved how much the school values the student body’s opinion, giving them the opportunity to share input on things such as choosing a school mascot, creating a Student Leadership Council, and even having a say in the electives that are offered. My youngest appreciates the teacher’s patience and dedication to teaching her new things every day. Not only has CCA provided my children with a quality education but it has also fostered a college-bound mindset, instilling in them the importance of higher education and awakening their drive and motivation to excel academically for years to come!”
