F.A.Q.
1. Why should I send my child here?
First of all, the main reason we would want
you to send your child here is because you feel God calling you to, that
it would be His will. But other reasons to send your child here are for the
personalized environment in that it is like a wonderfully personal home school
with solid
academics, the fact that it is Christ centered, and for the prayerful
teachers.
2. How do the combined classes work?
Because of the personalized program CLA
offers, younger students can take higher level classes and are offered the
opportunity to be mentored by an older student. Every student is able to
take exactly what they need.
3. Will my child be offered the same
college opportunities as other schools?
College admission is based primarily on SAT
scores and on the completion of the appropriate number of requirements for
the UC system. We structure the high school curriculum so that by the
senior year your student satisfies the University of California college
entrance requirements and is fully prepared to do their best on the
SATs. In previous years, students achieved scores over 700, including
one 800 score.
4. Will my child be given frequent
homework?
The goal of CLA is that each student’s
homework be minimized to an hour after school provided that the student
diligently works during provided study halls.
5. What will my child be taught
regarding the Bible?
Mission
Statement.
Bible is taught first thing each morning for nearly an hour. 7th-12th grades students will have covered nearly
every book in the Bible 1 chapter a day.

Yes. Depending on the student’s grades and
ability to complete given work. Honors classes are offered in Math and
Science (e.g., Calculus, Honors Chemistry, and
Physics).

55-60
full-time. We still have room to grow, and we will maintain our commitment
to keep each class size relatively small, to under 12-15 students per
teacher.
8. How will attending this school
benefit my child?
The goal of CLA is that your student
increases in wisdom, character, and faith; that your child will learn how
to apply Scriptures to their life. We work to ensure that they become fluent readers
and brilliant mathematicians with a distinctively Christian world view.
9. Are there sports?
Sports are encouraged, but there are no
formal teams at this time.
10. What are the teachers credentials?
Each teacher is hired after determining
they have a gift and passion for teaching, content expertise, and a love
for the Lord.
11. Do you have a block schedule?
We do not offer classes in semester blocks.
Rather, we have a solid year long schedule, with most classes in session
for an hour every other day.
12. What do you do for P.E.?
Every Friday after lunch the Jr. High, High
School, and 3-6th grades head down to a nearby park accompanied by a
teacher. K-2 grades have P.E. on Monday and Wednesday on the playground.
13. Are there any school trips, or
special trips for seniors?
Every year the Jr. High and High School go
down to Dillon Beach for 3 nights. We also have an end of the year field
trip.

required to have a Bible for Bible study every morning.

my child receive?
Personal attention is one of the strengths of our
school. We will work with you to ensure we accommodate their specific
needs.

disciples in a Christ centered academic environment.

small fee.
