SCHOOL FEATURES
MANY REASONS TO CHOOSE CRCA
We are a member of the ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) which connects our school with a community of Christian educators, along with tools, services, and development opportunities.
We have a 53 acre campus that includes indoor play-park, outdoor recreation area, and state-of-the-art teaching equipment including smart-boards in the classrooms.
Starting at an early age we include electives in our teaching curriculum. Students are able to learn Music, Technology, Art, and Physical Education.
Our low teacher-student ratio enables our teachers to give focused attention to each student. Each class is able to learn quickly because of the small class size.
All of our teachers and staff love the Lord and work hard to create loving, positive environment for the students to learn in.
With tuition assistance programs; early-registration, sibling, and pastor discounts, we strive to make quality Christian education affordable for every budget.
OUR HISTORY
10 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
CRCA began 10 years ago as a ministry of The Rock church, and was founded by Pastor J.R. Polhemus. He was inspired by Isaiah 54:13, “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.” and felt called by God to open the first Christian school in the area.

OUR FUTURE
GROWING AND EXPANDING
We will continue to offer an excellent academic schedule for preschool and elementary students with electives. We are also applying for accreditation with ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International).
Our classes, taught by experienced teachers, will continue to serve students with a low student-teacher ratio. We use updated resources, Christian publishers, and will make curriculum decisions based on individual and standardized testing assessments. Our ultimate goal is to add a high school and be a preschool through 12th grade educational program. Please join us in praying for wisdom and discernment in making this dream a reality.

Our low teacher-student ratio allows each teacher to evaluate the student’s needs, facilitate in one-on-one or small-group settings, and encourage each child to grow to their full potential.
