| THE SCHOOL |
|
The school provides training, support, and guidance to qualified home
schooling parents. Its goal is to provide those resources and activities necessary to assist parents in achieving for their children
a balanced education with emphasis on character, excellence, and creativity.
School parents have made themselves
accountable to trained and experienced teachers in order to achieve the above goal. The school provides a twelve-month program which
requires a minimum of 180 days of documented planning and instruction. Families in CCA are all members of Home School Legal
Defense (HSLDA) a national group of lawyers committed to defending families if their home education rights are threatened.

| THE TEACHERS |
|
The teachers in the school are the parents, who assume the primary responsibility for the education
of their children. The parents choose and purchase a curriculum which is reviewed by the school staff. Each family is assigned to
a team of 10 -14 families to a home school coordinator who works with families on academic issues. Parents are accountable
to the school to maintain attendance records as well as lesson plans (or daily journal) which are reviewed periodically.
Parents also set academic and spiritual goals for their children and submit report cards twice a year reflecting each child's progress.
