California Crosspoint Academy (CCA) was established in 1979 as Chinese Christian Schools, an educational ministry of Bay Area Chinese Bible Church, teaching out of two small apartments in Oakland, CA. Today, by the grace of God, CCA has emerged into a 5 1/2-acre, award winning, preschool through twelfth grade, private school with international student boarding dorms, located in Hayward, CA. CCA accepts students from diverse backgrounds.
Our firm beliefs, practices, knowledge, and experience have proven all students can excel with the right attitude, opportunity, and effort. We seek to minister to the entire student, developing them into academically strong, spiritually, and emotionally healthy individuals.
Our mission to fully equip students to discover God's will and purpose for their lives creates an unfaltering foundation. Since 1979 we have seen our motto "Transforming Lives for the Glory of God" come to fruition beyond anything we could have imagined!CCA Bible verse- John 17:3.
