I have had two students attend the high school program. One has gone onto college where she has excelled due to the academic excellence she was taught at CCA. Her senior class at CCA scored an average of 5 points higher than the average public school students on their ACTS. We have found the teachers always more than willing to give extra help when needed with the advanced cirriculum. My kids are not only ready academically for college but also have a firm spiritual foundation that will help them in all areas of life. All three of my children at CCA say that they want to be school teachers. I think this speaks to the great mentoring relationships that they experienced at CCA.

The lower school teachers and principal are exceptional. However, the quality of teaching declines when you reach upper school. Also, the amount of homework can be daunting. The school is very strict and rigid. I would rate the lower school four and a half stars and the upper school one star.

One of the wonderful things about CCA is that everyone truely cares and loves your child. Their focus is building your childs foundation to be a good and faith driven individual. C.C.A. depends on God to move in the hearts of donors to provide the finances that public schools receive through tax dollars. This is such a powerful thing in that CCA has managed to grow in such a way on donation and faith!

CCA is a great school with teachers and administration who TRULY care about the acadmic, as well as the spiritual development of the children who attend. They are great partners to have in the development of our children. We feel SOOOO blessed to have a school like CCA for our children to attend.

CCA provides the one on one interaction the kids need. Teachers are dedicated to providing students with a loving and nurturing environment.

The low student teacher ratio promotes academic excellence. My children look forward to daily homework!

Conerstone has simply been the very best experience for our two sons. The staff's commitment to growing the kids hearts and minds is beyond any of my expectations.

This is an excellent school. The teachers are committed to Christ and to academic excellence. These teachers really love their students and it shows. All three of my children have grown and exceeded my exceptations in character, their relationships with Christ and in academics. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is serious about getting a good education in a Christ-centered environment!

This school has to be the best school in the city of Bloomington. My three children attend this school and they all like love it. The school is academically outstanding. I recommend it to any parent who wants the best education for his kids and is able to sacrifice his budget for a great education.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
