School Overview
Overview
Centre County Christian Academy (CCCA) has a continuing tradition of excellence in Christ-centered pre-school, elementary and secondary education, nestled among the wide valleys of the Allegheny Mountains of central Pennsylvania.
We are private, independent, nondenominational and distinctively Christian; dedicated to educating the whole child mind, body, and spirit.
We seek academic excellence, moral purity, and have a strong commitment to the family and to the Holy Scriptures.
Centre County Christian Academy's mission is to provide support to the Christian home, encouragement to the church, and a young person that is sensitive in their spirit, submissive to authority, competent in their studies, and moral in their conduct.
While other schools spend their time and focus preparing students for college or for a job, we spend our resources preparing students for life.
God has a unique purpose for each student's life.
School should be a place where that purpose is discovered and developed. We equip students with a Christian worldview so that they can understand God's truths regarding real world issues like history, abortion, politics, wealth,debt, hunger, and marriage.
Students learn the relevance of biblical truths, the purpose of evangelism, and the importance of discipleship.
Grace Prep students are equipped to share their faith, discuss evolution, creation, world religions and influential philosophies.
Everything that we do, from planning the sports programs, to choosing the 10th grade reading list, reflects our commitment to God and grace.
