Foundations

Purpose 

To invest in the Kingdom of God by supporting parents as they raise a generation to love the Lord with a whole heart and to be Christ-like leaders in their homes, churches, communities, and the world.

Mission 

The mission of Cross Classical Academy, CCA, is to minister to families by partnering with Christian parents to provide for their children a classical education founded upon a Biblical worldview so that these children may commence a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, wisdom and understanding in their purposeful and passionate service of Jesus Christ, for the glory of God. CCA has adopted a university-model approach that integrates professional instruction with parent-mentored study and character development to achieve a college preparatory level of academic excellence. 

Vision 

Community of Christian educators and families that impacts, influences, and transforms lives through academics, character development, servant leadership, and the arts. 

Christian Worldview 

Education is never neutral. It is more than the mere transmission of facts; it involves the communication of life principles and values and, therefore, requires a spiritual context. Because God created, sustains and will consummate all things through His Son, Jesus Christ, we believe that facts, whether mathematical, historical, scientific, or otherwise, can only represent truth if they are taught in the context of a Christian worldview. This belief will permeate our goals and objectives, our teaching methods and our curriculum. 

Christian & Non-Denominational 

Cross Classical Academy is a private, Christian school and an independently governed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It is not a ministry of any particular church or denominational body, nor does it promote or endorse any particular denomination. It is our desire to maintain this position for the purpose of unity and fairness to each student, avoiding any dissension that may be caused by denominational distinctives. As a Christian organization, all board members, faculty, staff and student families profess faith in Jesus Christ.  

Family Ministry 

At CCA, we affirm that parents are the child’s first and best teachers. Parents are the single most influential factor in a child’s educational performance, as well as in emotional, social, and spiritual development. Therefore, CCA seeks to assist parents in their God-given task to train their children in mind, body, and spirit (Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6:4). By providing time, flexibility, and academic expertise, we promote a partnership that enables parents to adequately fulfill the Lord’s commands for the education and training of children for His glory. Cross Classical Academy provides a support structure for parents through leadership and character development programs, as well as through seminars for parents to deepen their own understanding of academic subjects, classical texts, and the way in which faith shapes their worldview.
