You Could Pay Over $10,000
And Not Get An Education Equal To That Of
Carolina Christian Academy
Each year, Carolina Christian Academy administers the Stanford Achievement Test to each student in five-year-old kindergarten through twelfth grade. This year, CCA's K5-G12 averaged nearly two grade levels ahead of other students per grade level. Most students test post high school upon entering the 9th grade.
According to stories run by the Charlotte Observer, over the last two years CCA seniors had the highest SAT scores of all schools reporting in the Charlotte Metrolina region.
For five years running, all graduates (except one) have continued their education. Most had scholarships, some full scholarships covering tuition, room and board, books, etc.
CCA remains vigilant in its vision and commitment to its mission:
The two fold mission of Carolina Christian Academy is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, values, and ethics to excel in life, especially in the areas of college, family, church, society and vocation; and to prepare an army of young Christian patriots who will exemplify, passionately advocate and intelligently defend the Biblical worldview, thereby solving our nation=s problems rather than adding to them.
Even though the Carolina Christian Academy surpasses schools charging $10,000 or more per student, CCA continues to hold the line on tuition costs and give multi-child discounts much greater than others. We understand the sacrifice that a Christian education represents for many parents. We keep tuition as low as possible.
Compare CCA=s rates and you will know what an incredible value you are getting.

Discounts: On the 2nd and 3rd child, other schools give discounts ranging from 0% to 10% or 15%. No other school other than CCA gives a 15% and 20% discount on the 2nd and 3rd child respectfully.
When you compare, you are amazed that at CCA you get a superior, world-class education for day care rates. What a phenomenal bargain this is in Christian education.
