Canyon Creek Christian Academy

Welcomed with open arms when we were searching for a safer Christian environment, away from the public herd mentality and the over crowded liberal biased district we live in. Our children's mental, spiritual, and physical well being is in our hands, as we are entrusted by God to lead and protect our children. We are thankful for options such as CCCA.

It's not a great school or a bad school. These are improvements that would make it great: 1. Teachers need to keep up with posting students' grades soon after assignment/quiz/test. It is hard to know if your student is doing poorly and to keep on top of things as a parent if the grades are not posted timely. 2. Communication with parents regarding school activities is poor, sometimes the only way I find out about something is from another parent. School desperately needs to have someone in charge of PR. 3. Teachers don't return homework/quizzes/tests so student can look at things missed and figure out what was wrong and correct way to do something. 4. Help for struggling students. Some students are too shy to ask for help. Maybe start a homework club, and pair struggling students with good students to help struggling students catch up and offer some kind of reward program to both students. Things that are good: Christian philosophy. Laptops in classroom. Clean social outlets for children through school activities. Kids who wouldn't qualify for sports in public school can play in this school.

A lot of people complain about tuition, but I'm one parent that won't. This is the bed you made when you decided to go to private school. We pay athletes millions of dollars and we won't pay our children's teachers? If you want good quality teachers, you need to pay them. Our children are our future.

Great School! My child has attended this school since K5 (8th grade). it has proven to be a great environment and enabled my student to thrive academically, socially and spiritually. The teachers are not only respected by the students but are loved. The relationship between the faculty, teachers and students are truly amazing. There may be bigger or better this or that, but what is most important to me is that my child loves to go to school, loves learning, is challenged and encouraged to do and be better, hates to miss school and most of all loves the Lord. I too highly recommend.

I love this school!!! The teachers are very involved with the children. Each teacher has a Mac at their desk and I receive e-mails regarding my child's performance daily. This is very important to me. My son is excited to go to school everyday. There is a strong sense of Christianity which sets the tone for the entire staff, students and parents alike. I highly recommend this school for any child.

We were in the younger portion of the school, Preschool, and I was constantly disappointed by the teachers. They were late, easily frustrated and overall disorganized.

Don't let the words Christian Academy influence your believeing that this is where you want to be. "Affordable" but only interested in the money. Tuition increases yearly. They do not enforce the philosophical doctrine associated with the name. The faciltiy is sub standard and lacks technology. Enrollment is considerably low and they WILL shut down soon. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, especially if you are new to the city.

The academic rigor at CCCA is not up to the standards of some of the better surrounding high schools, particularly in the math and science areas. The depth and breadth of the courses available were also significantly less than those offered by the area's public schools and left my child at a disadvantage when attending college. Most of my child's peers from Plano ISD had entered college with many AP credits and extensive coursework that was not an option at CCCA.

CCCA is an incredible school. The teachers are wonderful instructors and role models for the children. The classroom sizes are ideal to allow attention to each child. The Sports programs are top notch. Even the cafeteria food is great. We moved our daughter from Plano ISD knowing that private school is indeed an extra cost but do you ever get what you pay for. Public schools just don't measure up to the education one receives in a private academy like CCCA. It's great to know my child is not only getting a quality eduacation but also being taught Christian values both at home and at school.
