Here’s what some secondary students have to say:

“I love the CCA community and how everyone is very accepting and loving, I love sharing some of the same background as many other students who are also living in different countries from their birth.”

“I love how hard everyone works to provide a great education and a good time 😁”

“One thing I really love about CCA is the love I feel from everyone here.”

These are some of the most exciting years for students. In middle school, students begin to consolidate and solidify their earlier learning as they branch out into new and more challenging areas of academic and personal growth. Relationships with peers take on new dynamics alongside the rapid physical and emotional changes that are taking place. These factors truly make the middle school years a great adventure!

Our middle school team is well prepared to guide students through the middle school adventure. Learners are given a bit more freedom, from lockers and switching a few classes, to a full and diverse academic schedule all in an attentive and supporting environment. Participating in the variety of courses and experiences we offer, students are stretched as they are prepared for the next phase of their learning and development in high school.

Quality academics are the core around which CCA’s high school program is built. We believe that high school education should require students to work hard and apply what they learned in earlier years while acquiring new knowledge and skills. We strive to equip our high school students to expand and improve upon what they learn.

Beginning in high school, students can leverage opportunities to earn college credit through both AP and dual-enrollment courses. At CCA, students can get a head start on college, opening doors to a second major or even graduating from college a semester or two earlier than normal.
