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
