Welcome to Carolina Christian Academy! We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the unique journey that awaits each student at CCA – in classrooms, science and technology labs, in the art studio, on stages, in athletics, in amazing field trips, and the CCA Dreamworld Playground.

At CCA, you will find what you expect from a strong Christian school – innovative instruction from highly qualified teachers, a challenging curriculum featuring opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning both on and off campus, proud traditions, and students who are well mannered and well prepared for college and beyond.

What truly distinguishes CCA will not be found in the descriptions of its curriculum or its extracurricular program. CCA’s spirit is found in the strength and warmth of its family, in everyday interactions between students and teachers, in our emphasis on ethical leadership, and in the way that we appreciate and celebrate our students.

We encourage you to spend some time exploring our website, talking to students, parents, and alumni, and visiting our campus. What you will discover is a school culture and a student journey that go beyond the ordinary independent school experience. CCA is often described as a “school with a soul,” where young people learn to think critically and creatively, develop leadership and social skills, and most importantly, put service to others over the pursuit of self-interest.

The best way to get to know CCA is to visit our campus. You may schedule a tour on line or call 803-285-5565 to schedule a campus tour. We look forward to sharing our unique learning community with you.
