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.
