Elementary School
Grades K-5

At Christian Central Academy, teachers are seen as “living textbooks” who guide students to reach their God-given potential, master subjects, and see all learning as an expression of the truth of Jesus Christ. Our teachers, who know Christ as Lord and Savior, model a life of obedience and excellence.

Strong Foundations Begin Early

At CCA, we believe the elementary years are some of the most important in a child’s academic and personal development. Our classrooms are designed to nurture curiosity, build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and foster a genuine love for learning within a Christ-centered environment.

On the Winter 2025–2026 NWEA assessments, CCA elementary students (K–5) performed significantly above national averages across core academic subjects:

  • Reading / ELA: 82nd percentile nationally
  • Math: 74th percentile nationally
  • Science: 81st percentile nationally

    These results reflect a strong academic foundation that begins in the earliest grades and continues to grow each year.

Why We Keep 5th Grade in Elementary

We intentionally keep 5th grade within our elementary program because we believe students thrive when they are both academically challenged and developmentally supported during these formative years.

While many schools transition students into middle school earlier, our 5th grade students continue learning in a nurturing elementary environment that allows them to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and mature academically before entering middle school.

The results speak for themselves.

On the Winter 2025–2026 NWEA assessments, CCA’s 5th grade students scored:

  • 74th percentile nationally in Reading
  • 57th percentile nationally in Math
  • 86th percentile nationally in Science
  • We believe students flourish when strong academics are paired with encouragement, intentional guidance, and a learning environment where they are truly known.
