Frequently Asked Questions
-
In our elementary grades we use a color system to denote student behavior. Every child begins their day on green and can be moved up to purple for exceptional behavior or down to yellow, orange, or red for behavioral struggles throughout the day. This system helps keep parents informed as we partner with them.
In the Upper School we utilize a demerit system. Accumulation of five demerits in the span of a semester results in a detention.
Our full discipline policy is outlined in our handbook.
-
We believe that parents are the primary authority and influence in the life of any child. Because the Bible teaches that parents have this place of responsibility, our goal in every aspect of education is to complement the labor of parents in providing godly instruction.
-
We offer a variety of intramural sports opportunities at the elementary level and a limited number at the upper school level.
-
We strive to have no more than a half-hour of homework per class in the Upper School. In general we try to minimize homework load so that those students who are working hard in school can maximize family time at home.
-
We take God’s Word seriously and while we do not require families at CCA to agree with everything in our statement of faith, we want it to be understood that we will be teaching according to our statement of faith.
