The educational goal at Christ Classical Academy with younger students is to develop basic critical thinking skills together with confidence in verbal and begin the written methods of communication. To this end, CCA emphasizes language skills (reading, grammar, and spelling), handwriting, history, Bible, mathematics, and Latin in its Grammar school and will supplement these important subjects with science, music, art, drama, and physical education.
