Christian formation is not an academic program. It is the ordering principle of the whole life of the school. Learning begins with piety and returns to praise. We want to see community members with heart, soul, mind, and body abundantly alive to God, ready to love our neighbors as ourselves.

• CCA is rooted in Scripture, the ancient creeds, Christian worship, prayer, and the shared inheritance of the Christian tradition

• Our school is organized around prayer, Scripture, singing, and gratitude

• Students learn that all truth belongs to God and that His Word gives light to every part of life and learning

• Students are guided to love what is good, practice what is wise, and grow in virtue

• Formation happens through repeated practices: attention, obedience, gratitude, responsibility, truthful speech, good manners, and care for one another

• Our community seeks to notice, receive, and delight in what is true, good, and beautiful in God’s Word and world

• Teachers help shape school culture by modeling reverence, joy, diligence, humility, courage, hospitality, and intellectual charity

• Together, we enjoy friendship and a joyful shared experience

• Students practice love of neighbor by caring for people, places, belongings, school resources, and those in need

• Chatt Classical assists parents and honors the local church. The school does not replace either, but comes alongside families in the work of Christian education.
