Why CCA?

Concordia Classical Academy: A Ministry of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Lutheran schools are dedicated to providing academic excellence within a Christian environment. Our goal is to equip students with skills that will help them become productive citizens with a Christian world-vew. This is accomplished by a traditional classical curriculum which educates the whole child: academically, physically, socially and spiritually.
Qualities of Lutheran Education:
Christ-Centered

Jesus Christ, Redeemer and Savior, is the center of all teaching, learning and living.

Teacher Views

Teachers view all students as redeemed children of God.

Respect

Students are urged daily to view themselves, their classmates and their teachers with respect, esteem and dignity.

Purpose

Teachers help students know and understand themselves, their needs, their talents and their purpose as disciples of Christ within their community, church and their society as a whole.

Community

Lutheran classrooms are communities where children learn to care for and help one another learn, grow and apply what they believe. Appropriate classroom behavior, based on self-discipline is the goal of the caring community. Christian love and forgiveness is operative in all relationships.

Individualized

Because children grow and mature in different ways, lessons are designed to allow for individual differences and growth patterns. Measurement of performance is based on individual progress and growth, as well as comparison to a grade-appropriate standard of performance.

Values

The curriculum is designed to include not only academic subjects, but all aspects of a comprehensive education. Learning and living Christian values and lifestyles is an important aspect of daily Christian nurture.

Family Oriented

Because fathers and mothers are viewed as the child’s primary teachers, classroom teachers intentionally involve them as partners in the teaching/learning process. This involves more than simply reporting to parents the child’s performance and progress.
