The programs at CCA are established to round out the overall academic curriculum.
Some of these programs take place during the school day, while others are considered an after school extension to the curriculum.
We are regularly looking for qualified and capable help at our school.
This includes positions as teachers and substitute teachers, as well as non-teaching support positions.
