My son transferred here from PA Virtual. Due to budget cuts PA Virtual was playing with my sons classes. It was like we were doing school from morning to evenings because of their pathetic set up after budget cuts. My son now is a honor roll student. We love this school and their staff. The support
Posted by a parent on 3/24/2026I’m currently a student at CCA. The core classes aren’t that bad, but the electives are awful. I took Music Theory first, which I really enjoyed, and I joined the honors program led by the same teacher.This year, I enrolled in Discovering Music even though I already have experience, simply because t
Posted by a student on 1/26/2026If your child has an IEP you will need an advocate if your child goes to this school. This school is focused on their best interest and not meeting a child's needs. I believe due to budget cuts my kids education has been at risk. The IEP is a word salad game full of deception so they do not have
Posted by a parent on 1/26/2026My son switched to CCA in the middle of his 10th grade year, due to bullying and lack of support at our local brick and mortar high school. I was wary - i didn't think he'd be disciplined enough to do it, honestly. Turns out, when you remove distractions such as peer pressures, bullying, and having
Posted by a parent on 8/28/2025I went to CCA and at first I thought it was gonna be fun, but it got really bad fast. They said it was “flexible,” but I barely had time to eat between classes. Most of the kids kept their cameras off, and even the teachers looked tired and bored. I had to be on the computer like 8 hours

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a self-proclaimed academically rigorous school first and a Christian school second, and it shows. There is no joy here. The students' physical safety is not a priority nor is mental and emotional well being when it comes to bullying. The head of school is the root of many of the problems. God sees what they do to those children and it will not go unpunished.Other Review2y ago - Rabbi David L Silver Yeshiva Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSmall class size has resulted in personalized attention and spectacular academic and social growth for my son. We have been amazed by how much our son has learned over the last year and how his communication skills with us have blossomed. Wonderful school and spectacular teachers.Other Review9y ago - Londonderry School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school’s communication with parents is awful. Buses are always late and they don’t tell you until after they’re 10-20 minutes late. They are very disorganized and there is a lack of transparency, parents are not welcome into the school. The special needs classrooms are anything but special. The kids seemed to just be lumped together without any consideration for skill, cognitive or sensory need. They also seem to be short on staff. I am very disappointed.Parent Review9mo ago - Downey School
