I will recommend parents to Carter Christian Academy. The philosophy, mission and vision promotes what is required for balance, leadership, Christian values to improve behavior modification principles. I have found that this school opens the doors for parents who really need help with their children and willing to take suggestions to improve their child's life as well as their own. I believe and trust that each child's experience will impact their lives for the journey ahead.

We as a body of Christ should have a special place for our children to attend school. I am not an advocate of the public school system. I love the teachers and staff. CCA has a friendly environment.
