Private Middle School in Columbia, MO
CCA’s commitment to individual academic growth continues through our private middle school program.
CCA’s private middle school program provides students an opportunity to develop the gifts God gave them through academics, service, sports, the arts, and other electives.
A Typical Day at CCA
Our middle school students rotate through the core subjects taught by our teachers who specialize in math, science, and language arts/reading. The middle school students are assigned nightly homework to reinforce lessons.
At CCA, we strive for academic excellence. Each trimester, the majority of middle school students achieve honor roll (B average or higher) with about one-third earning our middle school merit scholarship (A+, A, or A- honor roll).
As one of the exclusive, private middle school programs in Columbia, we see developing leaders as a key component of our program.
In addition to their core classes, middle school students participate in weekly service opportunities throughout the school. Our previous service areas include being a buddy with a younger elementary school student, assisting with preschool activities, assisting in PE, and running media for chapel services.
We want every student to leave CCA with the heart and focus of a servant leader within all aspects of their lives.

See the difference in your child through the exclusivity of our private middle school.
At CCA, your child is academically challenged while engaging within our community through service and leadership. CCA’s small class sizes give your child the individual attention and growth opportunities that are not possible at larger, public schools. CCA personalizes classes to fit your child and their needs.
Middle school can be a turning point for many children in their academic and personal lives. It sets the tone for their success in high school and personally, which impacts their collegiate experience. Our smaller class sizes open up more opportunities for your child to grow within themselves. This will, in turn, grow their minds to be open and prepared for challenges in leadership, morality, and academics in their coming years.
