Student Progress

As of the third quarter of the 2017-18 school year, Cornerstone Crossroads Academy students have completed:

Accelerated Reader

At CCA, we use Accelerated Reader (AR), a program designed to encourage the regular practice of reading.

Each day, we have 15 minutes of Silent Sustained Reading (SSR), where everyone in the school - students, staff, and volunteers - take time to read.

After SSR and throughout the week, students are able to take AR tests on the books that they've read.

What to help our Reading Warriors?

Read "One for the Books" to learn how you can join us in encouraging and improving literacy at CCA!

We have developed a Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP), in which we have set goals for each identified area of improvement.

Financial Stability

Goal: Design and implement a broader, more robust donor cultivation program to provide a long-term funding base for the school.

Academic Engagement/Leadership Academy/Student Work Program

Goal: Develop opportunities to increase student engagement in the learning process through hands-on, relevant experiential learning.

School Facility Improvement and Expansion

Goal: Improve facility to address immediate pressures; design and build a new facility that is conducive to accomplishing the mission of CCA.

School Improvement Team

Goal: Establish a School Improvement Team (SIT) which will ensure the implementation of the CSIP.

Alumni Support

Goal: Develop a systematic way to connect with CCA graduates in order to continue relationships and spiritual development begun at CCA.
