Our Middle School program is designed to meet the unique needs of the 5th-8th grade student. Students at this age are beginning to think critically about what they are learning. They are naturally curious and, at times, can challenge the validity of what they are learning. This challenging nature is a positive and necessary part of maturing. At the Middle School level we begin to train students how to think and reason well. This is accomplished in an informal manner in each of the classrooms as well as in a formal logic class which meets weekly.
Students at the 5th through 8th grade levels have a wide range of needs and capabilities. Our Middle School students are divided into two sections, each with age-appropriate schedules and developmental goals.
Most would agree that the students at this level are undergoing unique physical and emotional changes that create potential learning and relational challenges. We strive to meet these challenges with a variety of programs and training opportunities:
The mission statement of CCA expresses our goal to instill in our students a passion for excellence, a heart of grace, and the character of Christ. This desire is lived out on a day-to-day basis by our faculty and staff as we strive to be role models for our students and inspire them to excellence, in all areas of their lives.
