Academy Curriculum
The heart of any school should be academics. The founders of Cedar Lake Christian Academy believed that an academic program along with a strong spiritual emphasis would serve as the foundation on which to establish an exceptional private school on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The joint efforts of faculty, students, and parents have created an intellectual climate in which the academic process is paramount.
Cedar Lake Christina Academy's outstanding academic program focuses on development of skills and learning beyond the mastery of a particular subject. Course options provide opportunities for high achievement of students and extend beyond accreditation requirements and programs of public schools. The emphasis is core academic curriculum with elective choices designed to enhance the talents and interests of students. The appropriate placement of students supports an impressive array of intellectual challenges and rewards the efforts of diligent studies. Inspiring instructors are experts in their disciplines. Their understanding of the learning process and of adolescents results in great accomplishments.
Cedar Lake Christian Academy is a school with a rich academic tradition that continues to be energized by the creativity and innovation generated by new faces and new ideas.
With this in mind, our core curriculum provides every student with a strong foundation in English, math, science, history, and foreign languages. Supplementing our core curriculum will be electives to complete out the necessary graduation requirements. The A BEKA and Bob Jones curricula are widely used from our preschool classes all the way to our high school courses. We do supplement with various curriculum as requested and/or needed to continue to achieve our high standards of excellence.
