Our Heritage
The story of Christian Central Academy begins in 1949 when parents from the Alden Mennonite Church (just east of Buffalo, NY) felt that a better education could be offered in a school that operated under Christian principles. So, "in September of 1949, the first school day opened in the basement of Alden Mennonite Church with 38 pupils and two teachers." (from the Alden Mennonite School Archives)

Growth and changes over the next three decades saw the school move into three different facilities and modify its name to Alden Christian and then to Faith Christian School. Parent involvement and faculty commitment remained exceptionally high throughout all the changes.

In 1978, the school became a ministry of The Chapel on North Forest Road in Williamsville, NY, and adopted its present name - Christian Central Academy. The next sixteen years saw several significant changes in the school. In 1981, the school rented and occupied the historic but vacant "Academy Street School" building at Academy and School Streets in Williamsville, subsequently purchasing the three+-acre property from the Williamsville Central School District in 1985. In 1991, the Williamsville Historical Society declared and marked that location an historic site.

While part of The Chapel, CCA was granted an absolute charter and was registered with the New York State Board of Regents, enabling the school to award Regents diplomas as the minimum standard of accomplishment.

As a further step in the maturation of the school, the decision was made by The Chapel and CCA to launch the school into independence in July 1994. The Chapel's nurture and oversight of CCA for sixteen years provided an important platform on which to cultivate a high standard of academic and spiritual excellence, continuing in the present leadership and in the lives of hundreds of alumni of Alden Mennonite, Faith Christian and Christian Central Academy.
