At the middle and high school levels, CCA provides a balanced program of college-preparatory academics, fine arts, athletics, weekly chapel services, and Bible classes. High school courses and credits required for graduation include four years each of Bible, English, math, science, and social studies. (Students transferring to CCA do not need to make up Bible credits from previous years.) Other required courses include health, physical education, computer applications, foreign language, and fine arts. CCA offers dual credit courses for juniors and seniors in U.S. history, English, and government, as well as AP courses when student interest is shown. CCA students may graduate with a minimum of 24 hours of college credit if they choose to participate in the dual credit classes. Christian and community service and character-building leadership opportunities are encouraged on the campus. Communication skills, diligence and scholarship, creative expression, and Christian perspective are emphasized in the presentation of curricula to provide an extraordinary school experience. College-preparatory programs are designed to assure success following high school graduation. CCA offers dual credit courses through Brookhaven College. CCA students compare favorably on standardized achievement tests and college entrance exams with public and private school students from across the nation. Seventh grade students are eligible to participate in Duke University Talent Identification Program. Each year an impressive percentage of CCA's secondary students achieve honor and recognition in fine arts, academic, and athletic contest events. These students are recognized in the public and private school sectors on the local, district, regional, and state levels. The academy's fine arts department includes art, choir, ensemble, band, orchestra, communication application, and theater arts. During the fall semester, theater arts students produce a play; in the spring, the choir presents a musical production. Students in communication application compete in speech and debate meets throughout the year. Photojournalism, newspaper, and yearbook provide practical experience for those interested in the communication field. Student Council for high school and middle school, Hall of Excellence, National Honor Society, and National Junior Honor Society are other areas in which students can receive recognition. |
