About the School
- Cahawba Christian Academy provides a Christ centered environment where students are challenged to achieve both spiritual and academic excellence.
- It is the intent of Cahawba Christian Academy to place foremost in the hearts and minds of its students, parents and staff the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
- We believe that according to the Bible, parents are the God- ordained authority over the child.
- Those who have enrolled their children at CCA have then entrusted to the school the responsibility of imparting a Christ- centered education to them.
- We believe that all programs within Cahawba Christian Academy whether academic, athletic, or spiritual should be for the purpose of teaching young people how to relate to every situation from a Biblical worldview.
- Our motto, Academic excellence with a meaning, simply implies that we provide a Christ honoring education with a high standard of academic excellence.
