My three sons attended Christian Chapel and it was a wonderful school family for them to grow up in. Having a school that worked along with parents to build a strong Christian foundation helped them so much when entering into public school after 8th grade. CCA will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We moved to Columbia in 2009, never having had our kids in private school. When faced with the decision to pay for our kids education or choose public school, we chose CCA because we felt that it reinforced the values and worldview we are trying to instill in our children. We have never regretted making the investment. We love the community of friends, families and teachers. We asked our kids why they love Christian Chapel Academy and heres what they said:
R - 1st grade- They have fun stuff to do andthats all.like PE and recess.
K- 5th grade - I love the great teachers and that we

Our daughter was struggling in the public school system and began attending CCA for the first time this year and now she is really tapping into her potential. She truly loves going to school and is somewhat disheartened on the weekends because there is no school. From the very first time my wife visited the school last year, she could tell it was a nurturing environment and that it was going to be the very best place for our daughter. Then my daughter even got the chance to sit in
