Our Philosophy

At Classical Christian School for the Arts, Inc we value, teach and most importantly model Christian ethics and character-based education including respect, loyalty, trust, and care one for another. We assure our students that they will be treated fairly and with respect. Our objective is to make decisions that will best represent the entire student body. We believe that the arts and sports program provide the opportunity for students to develop that experience while contributing to school functions and community service.

We want our parents to know that we are committed to do our best to act in the interest of our students with all decisions. We value cultural and racial diversity, consistent with the Judeo-Christian worldview.

Non-Discriminatory Policy of CCSA

CCSA, while founded on faith-based principles, is a non-denominational, church sponsored school that accepts students from all faiths, who agree to adhere to the church-school statement of fatih.  Students of all ages have the option to participate in specific faith curricula we offer or other electives.  Classical Christian School for the Arts, Inc. will admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to students.  CCSA will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, natioinal or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs or other school administered programs.
