About Colorado Christian AcademyColorado Christian Academy
(CCA) is a private Christian school in the south Denver metro area,
serving students from Preschool through 8th Grade. For families in
Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, and Englewood,
CCA offers a distinctive alternative to both traditional public
education and conventional private schools: an innovative,
Christ-centered, classically inspired approach that develops the
whole child academically, spiritually, emotionally, and
socially.Our Mission and VisionCCA provides an innovative
Christ-centered education that prioritizes academic achievements
and the individual development of the whole child. In partnership
with parents, we build healthy foundations that result in resilient
students. Our vision is to see every graduate become a "Resilient
Leader Sustained in Christ," prepared to lead with wisdom, courage,
and compassion in whatever path God calls them toward.A
Christ-Centered, Classically Rooted EducationAt CCA, faith is not
an add-on; it is the foundation of everything we do. Scripture,
prayer, and biblical worldview are woven naturally into every
subject and every school day. Alongside our Christ-centered
identity, our academics are grounded in a classically inspired
tradition that emphasizes critical thinking, strong character, rich
literature, clear writing, and a deep love of learning. Students
are challenged to ask thoughtful questions, engage ideas with
courage, and grow into confident lifelong learners.Programs by Age
GroupOur Preschool program (ages 3 and 4) offers a nurturing,
play-based introduction to learning where children build social
confidence, early literacy, and a love for God and His world. Our
Elementary program (Kindergarten through 5th Grade) blends strong
academic fundamentals with specials like art, music, PE, Spanish,
and STEM, all within small, caring classrooms where every child is
truly known. Our Middle School program (6th through 8th Grade)
prepares students for high school and beyond through rigorous
academics, leadership opportunities, athletics, service projects,
and intentional discipleship.What Sets CCA ApartFamilies choose CCA
because they want more than just a strong academic program. They
want a school that partners with them in raising resilient,
thoughtful, faith-filled kids. Class sizes are small, teachers know
every student by name, and parents are treated as the primary
influence in their child's life. Our three core commitments guide
everything we do: Valuing the Whole Child, Developing Lifelong
Learners, and Honoring Christ.Our CommunityCCA serves a growing
community of families from across the south metro area who share a
common desire for a joyful, faith-grounded educational experience.
We invite prospective families to schedule a tour, meet our
teachers, and see firsthand why our students love to learn, grow,
and thrive here.Developing minds. Shaping hearts. Inspiring
leaders.

My girls have been attending CCA for 1 year and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are so excellent and you can tell they love teaching and love the kids. We love how much Christ-centered values are taught and how to find their identity in Christ. We look forward to our children going to CCA through middle school.

I have two children who attend CCA. They have been with the school since day one. CCA has been a blessing to each of my kids in many ways. The teachers are outstanding, they meet the kids where they are and know them personally. The curriculum and co-curricular are engaging. The school has a home away from home feeling. It is a family-oriented community, the school partners with the parents and has fun events for everyone all year long. Jesus is the center of the teacher's hearts and is shown in all they do for the students!

My students are nearly midway through their second year at Colorado Christian Academy and we are thrilled at their progress, and the love and attention they have received from the faculty. After a tough year with Covid, and now CRT making its way into our public schools, CCA has made an immense difference in our children`s lives and education. We don`t know where we would be without CCA and we are grateful every day for what they are doing, and how they do it in the image of Christ. The school is surrounded by loving Christian families and we really feel like we`ve found a community with high levels of integrity, honor, and a passion for educating and growing the whole child. Thank you, CCA for the great year!

This school has truly redesigned Christian education. They offer top-notch academics and spiritual growth, all while embracing a healthy lifestyle and individual learning styles. They are an answer to prayer for parents wanting Christian education in a better way.

I homeschool but my children have always been enrolled in an enrichment program. We found CCA's homeschool program and were excited to check it out. We took the tour, met the Principal and we enrolled our youngest (our older children are in High School). What a blessing it has been! Life-changing for my 7th grader. Small class size plus AMAZING teachers = a great environment. I love the focus on God and His works. I was also blown away by the close-knit community of families. Everyone is friendly and supportive. We really love CCA and recommend it to everyone!

We are so grateful for CCA! Our children have been there a few months and have grown at least a year`s worth academically. The families have built such a strong-knit community with very loving and welcoming children. The teachers put a lot of time into figuring out where children are and how to come alongside them to grow with such joy of the challenge. It`s such a relief knowing we can trust what is being down into their heart and minds.

Colorado Christian Academy has been a blessing to our family. My daughter has excelled both academically and socially. The teachers and staff care about the students both academically and personally. Kids are challenged mentally and physically, with movement breaks throughout the day to allow for them to exercise and expel energy to do their best in their school work. A variety of extracurriculars offer so many great experiences. So glad to have found this school.

Colorado Christian Academy is an incredible school with a holistic approach to education. Our three children are thriving at this institution. The whole-child approach focuses on the child`s intellectual, spiritual, and physical well-being. The curriculum is challenging, the faith formation is inspiring and the physical wellness of the child is encouraged through multiple movement breaks and recess throughout the day. We absolutely love flexible Fridays where students are taken on various trips throughout the Denver metro area (hiking, rock climbing, museums, botanical gardens, and zoos - to name just a few of the field trips!).
