I absolutely LOVE Celebration Christian Academy. My 3 year old twins have flourished since being in the K3 class. They can write their name, recite bible scriptures for each letter of the alphabet, reading sight words, and applying skills learned at school outside of the school as well i.e. using kind words, etc. They absolutely love their teacher, Ms. Quainoo as well as all of the staff of CCA. The school is really like a family. They get along with kids in the other classes as well. I love that they go on field trips.....there's 9 or 10 scheduled for this current school year. Even though they're only 3, they are functioning well beyond their years. The communication between teacher and parent is great via their academic planner on a daily basis as well as phone or email if needed. You will not be disappointed if you send your child here!!!!!

Celebration Christian Academy has the best teachers in any private school. Care for the students is matched with academic rigor. My child transitioned from elementary school to middle school with great success after attending 4 years at CCA. Teachers have Master Degrees in Education, understand common core standards and apply differentiated teaching strategies successfully in the classrooms. The school has doubled in size in the past two years. The fifth grade teacher in 2011, Ms. Hayes, was such an inspiration to my child. She helped us transition our daughter into a private middle school in Howard County. My daughter has shown great success, maintained honor roll throughout her 6th grade and 7th grade years. The administrative staff really took the time to get to know both students and parents.
