About the School

Cross Creek Christian Academy provides a Christ-centered education that seeks to develop students academically, spiritually, and personally.
We believe students thrive in an environment where strong academics, biblical truth, meaningful relationships, and high expectations work together to prepare them for both the opportunities and responsibilities ahead.From the foundational years through high school, our academic program emphasizes mastery, critical thinking, strong communication skills, and personal responsibility.
Younger students build essential skills through proven methods such as phonics-based reading instruction, cursive handwriting, and traditional mathematics.
As students progress into middle and high school, they are challenged to think more deeply, work more independently, develop their individual strengths, and take greater ownership of their education.Because we believe education is about more than academics, students are encouraged to grow as leaders, teammates, friends, and responsible young adults.
Opportunities to serve, participate, lead, and contribute to school life help students discover their gifts and learn how to use them well.Faith is woven throughout the school day rather than limited to a single class.
Through Bible instruction, Scripture memorization, prayer, and a God-honoring school culture, students are encouraged to develop a biblical worldview and character marked by integrity, responsibility, kindness, courage, and service to others.At Cross Creek Christian Academy, students are known, valued, challenged, and encouraged.
Our goal is to partner with families from the elementary years through graduation, providing a strong academic foundation while preparing young people to step confidently into college, careers, ministry, and life with the knowledge, character, and faith to make a difference.

I am so thankful to have found Cross Creek Christian Academy! My girls started late in the year and Mrs. Kerby and all the other ladies there just took my girls under their wings and treated us like family. The staff there are amazing and they have high quality accredited education. My girls learned so much and I have seen much improvement in my youngest writing and seen much improvement in my older girl's phonics and reading. I really appreciate Cross Creek Christian Academy!!! Thank you for all you do! God is Good All the Time!

CCCA has been a game changer for my son who has ADHD and needed to be a smaller classroom setting with a structured teacher. With the low student to teacher ratio, teachers have the ability to meet students where they are, in a non-judgmental environment and no distractions. The curriculum engages students at a pace they can keep up with and without the added fluff. Most teachers are very creative in their content delivery and my son actually loves attending this school. I'm not sure about sports, because my son is 4th grade, however, the school is thriving in the arts. I encourage anyone wants to separate the wheat from the germ in their child's education so they can love learning again, to give CCCA a try. You won't regret it. -Lolita
