Our Students Say…
“CCA has definitely helped me with a lot this year. One thing I can tell I’m improving at is my faith. I’ve definitely grown closer to God and read the Bible a lot more than I have in previous years. I also think it has helped me with more self-control and just knowing what supportive friends and teachers we have. It has definitely helped with my academics.”
“CCA has meant a lot to me. I can trust all of the teachers, so I can talk about school or other things outside of school with them. I now know more about the Bible than I have learned all my life. I would have never imagined how much I would know in just one school year as compared to before.”
“CCA has helped a lot. My grades are better than before I came here… All of the teachers care a lot about us, and that also makes it easier because they are always here to help.”
“I think I found my real group of friends here. I used to always be a shy, quiet kid who was always bullied by the popular kids and never had many friends. But now I feel like I have real friends. I have grown spiritually, I am more open, more kind, less shy and less stressed.”
