Both of my children have attended CCA since K3. My son is going into the 8th grade, and my daughter is going into fourth. They both score very well on standardized tests; my son scores "post high school" and my daughter scores 8th grade in many areas. The teachers love my kids and my kids know it. I wouldn't send my kids to school anywhere else. (It costs a lot less than most private schools in the area, by the way!!)
All 3 of my children attend CCA and I have been highly impressed! The morals and values being taught are well worth the money! The academics are exceptional and the teachers are very available for my kids. All 3 are very involved in sports and have excellent coaches with great moral character!
My daughter went to school there, K3- 3rd grade. When we switched her over to public school she was tested to make sure she was 3rd grade level. Her test scores came back 1st grade 6th month. We had to get her tutoring all summer so she could be in her right grade. On her CCA report cards she had all A & B. Apparently they would review the entire test together right before taking it to insure 'good' grades. The grades were there but she didn't retain/learn. What a waste of money!
My child went to preschool here for almost 2 years. In January of her second year the school sent out a letter letting the parents know that, due to financial difficulties, an additional $350.00 would be needed to keep your child enrolled. The 'facility assessment fee' was to cover the cost of a building that was already built and being used! I could not afford to pay this additional fee and was told 'so sorry, you will have to withdraw your child if you can not pay the fee' I left message asking that the principal call me.......no surprise, I never heard from him. They boast their preschoolers learn to read..don't believe this. Their preschoolers are jammed into a tiny room with 16 other children. My child did learn a lot of Christian values from her teacher. The principal needs to sit in on some of THOSE lessons!
Putting my children in CCA has been the best decision I have ever made for my children s education. They have excelled beyond my expectations. The teachers are phenomenal and completely dedicated to helping their student succeed. They set extraordinary Christian examples, and help instill strong morals and character. A+++
With 3 children in CCA, our experiences have been very positive. The staff and administration is always seeking ways of improvement. My oldest once stated that she thought that she had caring, great teachers in public school until she came to CCA. The only thing that needs improvement is seeking scholarships and helping students with career/educational choices past high school. I praise God for CCA!
I attended this school from 7th grade to graduation. Although it had some shortcomings when it came to extracurricular acctivities, the learning environment was far superior to what I experienced in Mississippi public schools.
I am a parent extremely pleased with the education my high school children are receiving. The school has produced outstanding student achievements in the academic competitive arena. Dramatic changes have occurred recently to attain a stronger college preparatory foundation. The ability of the school to remove the 'Public School' influence and maintain a high moral code is of utmost importance to me as a parent. I also like the qualifications of the high school teachers. Not only do they have vast backgrounds in the technology fields, but have wonderful Christian character. For an approximate 300 enrollment, there is the downside of which includes smaller athletic advantage, and music achievements. However, in light of the other aspects, I believe I have made the best choice.
CCA is a wonderful school. I would not have my kids at any other. I have a son and a daughter there and they are in 1st and 2nd grade. They have been there since K-3 and K-4. I plan for them to graduate from CCA. CCA is now accredited and public schools have to recognize credits from CCA. I graduated from a non accredited school and had no problems getting into a college. CCA has worked hard for to be accredited and I am proud of their success.
This is a wonderful school! The environment is very safe, class sizes are smaller, Christian principles are taught and the teachers are very accessible. My son loves it.
