High School
High School
CCA offers a college-preparatory course of studies designed to educate and prepare our students well for college and for life in the “real world”. The high school course of studies exceeds the minimum requirements for the State of Washington. Both the ACT and SAT college readiness/assessment tests are offered at CCA, as well as the PSAT test, which is used to measure readiness for college, access scholarships, and practice for the SAT. It is very common for students to develop strong mentoring relationships with teachers and staff. Graduates often return to visit to CCA and thank their teachers for preparing them well for university academics. The majority of our graduates go on to attend college, often with significant academic scholarship awards.

CCA’s high school instruction is enhanced with learning activities that take place off campus. There are a number of trips which take place during the school year throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Extracurricular activities taking place every year include: Student Association (SA) activities, High School Trip Week, Bible Camp, Winter Activities, varsity sports, handbells, Spiritual Retreat, and more. Every other year, students have the opportunity to leave the country to serve on the Belize mission trip, and every four years, a Washington DC History Trip takes place. These opportunities help to create a full and memorable high school experience. Every student who wishes to participate in these activities is welcomed, regardless of prior experience or ability.

Family Groups
Family Groups
At the beginning of each school year, the CCA student body, grades K through 12, is divided into groups, each headed up by a member of our teaching staff. Throughout the year, these “family groups” get together during a chapel period for worship and a fun competition to win “Flash,” the school’s stuffed wolverine mascot. The competitions vary in style, include physical, mental, and creative events, and involve all ages of students within the family groups. Family groups are a wonderful way to promote cross-grade bonding, as well as provide leadership opportunities for older students.

Chromebooks in the Classroom
Chromebooks in the Classroom
CCA provides Chromebooks as a valuable teaching and learning tool in the classroom.

Students in 3rd through 12th grades are assigned their own Chromebook for the school year, utilizing it in various ways throughout almost every class. GoGuardian provides a complete Chromebook management solution, keeping students safer online 24/7 at school and at home through filtering and monitoring as well as assisting teachers in classroom management and instruction.

Effective integration of the Chromebook in the learning environment is the most important piece to a successful program. For many students, use of the Chromebook reveals an improved capability to comprehend and learn. Parents are pleased with the enhanced learning their students are experiencing and are very supportive of the education on digital citizenship that each student receives. Teachers appreciate the ways in which they are able to bring their subject matter to life.

Community Service and Missions
Community Service and Missions
At CCA we expand student opportunities to learn to love beyond the classroom. Local and international service opportunities are coordinated each year to teach students how we show love to our communities and to give them a broader perspective of the world we share. Students are not just asked to “talk the talk”, but “walk the walk” by putting love into action through participating locally in “Make a Difference Day” by raking bark at a local park in Wenatchee, cleaning at Lighthouse Mission, or serving the homeless. Students have also participated on a global level at The King's Children's Home, an orphanage in Belmopan, Belize by working on construction projects and spending time with the children. It is our goal that each CCA student learn to think critically about how he or she may be used by God to serve with love and to be the peacemakers that God calls His children to be.

Athletic participation can be a challenge for busy CCA students who juggle academics, after school jobs and other extracurricular commitments. Grade eligibility to participate is measured on an ongoing basis through the school year, ensuring that academics come before athletics in a student’s order of priorities. The fun of the game, the accomplishment of acquiring and improving their skills with a great coaching staff and team camaraderie are among the reasons why CCA students choose to participate in athletics.
