Overview
Mission
Our purpose is to equip students for service and success through redeemed and exceptional academics. At CCA, we believe curriculum is a tool—not a teacher. It serves to support learning, not drive it. That’s why we place gifted, Christ-centered educators at the heart of our classrooms and equip them with high-quality resources that align with our mission. We take a blended approach to curriculum selection, drawing from time-tested, research-backed programs and Christ-centered publishers to support strong academic growth and biblical integration. Our goal is not to follow one boxed program, but to intentionally choose materials that support deep understanding, critical thinking, and faith formation. Our school-wide curriculum includes:.
What it reported doing in 2024
Provide basic educational curriculum to prekindergarten (age 3) through 12th grades
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
