Schedule a School tour

CCCA has minimum of one class at each grade level from kindergarten through 8th grade. Our class sizes will be a maximum of ten students with a teacher and classroom aide as available.

CCCA has an outstanding staff of qualified teachers. Many of our teachers hold masters degrees, which include a Pennsylvania teacher’s certificate, as well as certification from the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools.  Our curriculum is reviewed on a regular cycle to ensure that it remains current, useful and engaging. CCCA uses carefully chosen curriculum to ensure a rigorous academic program that prepares our students for the competitive nature. We want to prepare the children entrusted to us by God to do “all things heartily unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23).

*Class size number represents an average student population per class, however, some classes will be smaller based on student enrollment. If more than ten students enroll per class, an additional classroom will be formed to keep class sizes at optimum size for individualized instruction.
