SERVICE LEARNING

The goal of service learning is such that students who graduate from CCA will be highly motivated to play an active role in society by identifying and using their God-given talents in service to the world, beginning in the immediate community and reaching beyond. Students will experience service opportunities through a planned curriculum which deepens their understanding of how service is a reflection of our God who first served us in the person of Jesus Christ. We are created to love and care for others, because our Creator first loves and cares for us.

80 hour service requirement over the four years must be met in order to graduate from CCA. Students who transfer to CCA mid year will have their requirements/hours pro-rated.

CULMINATING PROJECT
Each senior will complete a Senior Project in his or her Senior English class. The Senior Project is designed to be the culmination of academic experiences and is a genuine opportunity for seniors to merge their various interests, passions, and curiosities with their academic lives while demonstrating autonomy and critical analysis skills.
