Classical Christian Academy is the premier hybrid school in Southwest Florida, offering families a PK-12 education option that blends the best aspects of private and home schooling.
We believe the most effective way to create both an academically rigorous and Christ-centered school is through the method known as the classical approach to education.
CCA chose this model because it develops students who love to learn, creates a partnership between parents and teachers, and provides an education that is foundationally taught from a biblical worldview.

School Reviews

My daughter started attending this school 2 years ago and has grown and excelled more than I could even imagine. She has built many friendships and relationships. The teachers and staff know each and every kid there which makes them feel important. My daughter has an IEP and the teachers really go out of their way to make sure she is taken care of and anything she needs they are right there for her. It is the best choice we could have made for her education.

This is an absolute gem of a school that combines the wonderful elements of my child learning in a supportive, loving Christian school with his best interests at heart, and the sweet simplicity of spending time learning at home with me. I could not ask for a better blend. My only wish is that I had found it sooner!

Our family has been part of CCA for 15 years. All four of our kids have received a quality education from a Christian worldview with teachers who take a personal interest in their lives. The flexibility of CCA's hybrid model has allowed us years of travel athletics without academic stress. Now that our oldest is in college, we can see how well CCA prepared him for post-high school education.

We have had our three boys here for seven years. The teaching and curriculum are sound, partnership with parents is strong and intentional, and the culture of building character in our students is strong. We are happy here and intend to stay through graduation.
