TESTIMONIALS
Our boys started CCA in grades 4 and 5, and from day 1 we have found CCA to be a safe and welcoming environment where close friendships have formed, there is a deep sense of community, and where the teachers have gone above and beyond to provide a caring and supportive environment for them to flourish academically, socially and spiritually. We are so grateful to have CCA in our community!

I went to CCA for my last 3 years of high-school and graduated in 2012. What I love about CCA is the close knit family you feel with each other, the smaller classes, more one on one time with the teachers, knowing my kids are getting a great education, the open communication they have with the parents, and knowing my kids are getting a Christian based education. My daughter and son both love CCA and talk so highly of their teachers. I love that I can have a relationship with their teachers as well. It's great to have experienced CCA as a student and now as a parent who has a child there. I highly recommend CCA to anyone and you will be so happy you sent your child there.

I have two children that currently attend CCA and love it! The staff at CCA are kind, caring, and make such a deep positive impact on my children. Not only do my kids learn a beautiful curriculum, but they also have amazing support with the teachers, which builds their confidence academically and in general. My oldest child has come leaps and bounds since attending CCA socially and academically and I will forever be grateful. I can’t wait to send my youngest in the next couple of years!

As alumni ourselves, it was a very easy decision for us that our children would also attend CCA. From an academic perspective, we both attended post-secondary and felt very prepared for what University and College demanded of us. However, growing up in a school that valued our faith journey just as much as our academic journey was far more priceless. Looking back on our time at CCA, now as parents, we appreciate that aspect even more. When your 6 year old says, “Alexa! Play The Fruit of the Spirit coconut one” and starts singing at the top of his lungs you can’t help but smile and be incredibly grateful that our children are being taught by some of the most wonderful Christian educators we could ever ask for.

I appreciated the generally small class sizes, which encouraged more one on one academic help from teachers. There was a strong focus on academics, as well as spiritual growth.
– Rachel (Bokma) Bakker, Alumni
Very positive experience overall. The staff are highly polite and professional, the environment is pleasant and welcoming, and both students and parents demonstrate respectful and positive behavior. The school provides strong academic standards within a supportive and spiritually enriching environment.
– Shima Borzouie, Parent
I am privileged to be able to serve the Lord by teaching at CCA. Every day I get to not only interact with young people as I teach academics, but also be involved in presenting Christ to them. It is a joy to have a small part in influencing young people for Christ.

My 5-yr-old is not just learning how to spell, read and count. Over the past six months, she has become familiar with many biblical characters, stories and songs, to the extent that she is able to share basic messages with family and friends. She is also learning the importance of leading with kindness and praying for others, and we are seeing that manifest in real life time in her interactions with others. I often reflect on how different our society would be if every child had the opportunity to receive this education, not just on Sundays, but on a daily basis and at such a young age. Best decision we ever made.
– Janna McFatridge, Parent
We are so deeply grateful for the manner in which CCA has fostered a deep faith life and love for learning in our children. We have experienced CCA as a safe learning environment where our children are encouraged to learn, explore, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Our children wake up excited to attend CCA each morning!
– Jennie and Craig Johnson, Parents
We see very significant changes in our daughter since she started this year at CCA. First semester she had Bible every morning which I believe helped lead her to getting baptized in December. Praise God! Her grades are great and she loves the environment of CCA. She feels safe, loved, and able to be her true self. She and us agree that this is the best decision we could have made for her, Life changing to be honest. Thank-you CCA

Kids know their Bible. It’s amazing when I have them in the car and all of a sudden they’re singing worship songs ❤️
– Karla Leopold, Grandparent
My son was down, discouraged and anxiety ridden from the environment he experienced in a public school environment. Within just a few days of attending CCA his whole countenance changed. He is about to complete his 5th year and is no longer anxiety ridden. He loves the Lord and has thrived with the amazing help and care of his teachers. He was just asking me questions today regarding the teachers meeting before every day begins to pray for all of the students. I can tell it means the world to him that they take time out of their day to pray for him.

CCA has offered our children the opportunity to gain independence, life skills, and development friendships, by going to school, but in a Christian-based environment.
– Jennifer Hebert, Parent
My boys have flourished in this environment, from struggling in school emotionally and academically to exceeding expectations and loving going to school every day!

Had I not moved to CCA I would not be where I’m at now spiritually and professionally.

Colchester Christian Academy was the #1 reason we moved to Colchester from out West when we came in 2018 – we were looking for a Christian school and many options are not available in this Province for parents who want a Christian focused education. We are grateful for this school to be in such a wonderful area of the province.
Since enrolling our children when we moved here our girls are in God's word everyday and praying together in class which is not an option in a public school, and again we are grateful for this.
The teachers at CCA have reached out to us 1 on 1 regarding our girls learning to get us involved, keep us informed, and ensure that the kids are doing well in their studies. We again are very thankful for the teachers at CCA that really care for our girls and all the kids in the school.
It is important as a family that CCA reinforces our values as a Christian household, and this is done daily at the school teaching our children about God's word so they can grow strong in their faith.
CCA has been a great way to connect with other parents at the school and create friendships when we move to the area that we have been blessed with. The parents get together, connect on the playground, and make a point to be involved in the school. CCA is our 2nd Church family.
CCA has involved our family in our children’s learning by offering us to assist at the school through reading to them, helping in the gym , going on field trips, and working on crafts in class. CCA was also instrumental in creating a consistent environment for learning through the Pandemic. CCA was able to move to online learning quickly when lockdowns happened, and in this way the girls did not have to miss a single day during these tough times.
We are blessed to have CCA in our community.
