The annual Re-enrollment Meeting was held at Clinton Christian Academy (CCA) on Tuesday, January 23, in the CCA gym. This meeting focused upon a variety of information including plans for facility enhancements.
CCA’s Biblically based academic education helps mold and define our students’ worldview. As a result of the rigorous curriculum, CCA students typically score 1-2 years above grade levels ahead of their peers during their elementary years on nationally normed achievement tests and can score as much as 3-4 years above their peers by the time students finish the 8th grade. Maintaining that level of quality with a 57% increase in enrollment
over the past 6 years has required identifying areas in the facility that need enhancement.
The CCA Board and administration rolled out plans for CCA Facility Enhancements which will be completed in three phases as financing becomes available. Phase 1 includes the following improvements: (1) weight room built on the west side of the gym; (2) two classrooms built on the east end of the cafeteria; and (3) additional restrooms on the east end of the elementary building. The enhancements planned for Phase 1 will focus upon better serving those students currently enrolled and create a better quality CCA experience. Currently there are $400,000 in donations targeted specifically for facility improvements. Additional funds ($400,000+) are also available from the Christian Education Foundation of Clinton (CEFOC) to support CCA.
The completion of Phase 1 will set the stage for Phase 2 during which the modular classrooms will be removed and in its place, a larger cafeteria with a commercial kitchen will be constructed. The cafeteria will be constructed as a multi-purpose building so that it may be used for a wide variety of activities in addition to lunch.
Phase 3 will repurpose the space we currently have and enable CCA to increase programming along with the potential for siblings to attend in the future. The final phase will include utilizing the old cafeteria space for additional classrooms and reconfiguring office spaces which will result in additional instructional spaces.
A Capital Campaign Committee, led by Kyle Adkins and Dain Sisk, will be working to raise additional funds to support the three phases of projects to enhance CCA facilities. The financial support of generous donors will be an investment in the enhancement of facilities that serve as the bedrock for imparting not only knowledge, but strong Christian principles and morals. Contributions to the CCA Capital Campaign will be an investment in a brighter future built on the principles of Christian Education.
