Frequently Asked Questions
                Q:           What are the qualifications of the teachers?
                A:            All teachers hold current certificates with endorsements in the areas in which they are teaching.
 
                Q:           What curriculum does CCA use?
                A:            Curriculum is determined by the needs of the students.  Teachers create their own curriculum in some areas, always keeping in mind the Biblical principals which guide their teaching.  Some A Beka materials are used on the elementary level;  The ACE program is used for students grades 3-high school as the core, integrated with thematic materials geared to the student’s performance level. 
 
                Q:           How much emphasis is given to Bible teaching?  
                A:            All classes receive daily instruction in the Scriptures.  All students are involved daily in memorizing Scripture.  Upper elementary and Jr./Sr. high students have a weekly class for more in depth Bible Study, and sharing time.  Chapel is held weekly, with speakers from our local church as well as other churches. 
 
                Q:           Can students receive a high school diploma from CCA?
                A:            Yes!  The first graduates will receive diplomas in 2013.  They will have completed all the requirements of the State of Ohio and beyond! 
 
                Q:           What if a student is working below grade level?  Would he/she be accepted at CCA?
                A:            Yes.  We are blessed with a staff equipped to help students work through areas of deficiency, particularly in areas of literacy.  Assessments in 2009-10 have shown some amazing results of the progress of these students.
 
                Q:           In what kinds of activities can CCA students become involved?
                A:            In 2009-10, students became involved helping with activities at the area Nursing Home.  They became acquainted with the residents, and assisted them with their parties, bagged candy for them for their trick-or-treat night, performed a concert for them, and ate lunch with them at a restaurant.  
As personnel is available, a variety of activities are offered, such as Sign-language, and conversational Spanish.  Art, PE, and music are a part of the weekly schedule.  Students participate in at least 2 programs a year through music and drama.
Students are encouraged to participate in the Upward Sports program in Circleville, or on the YMCA’s teams until we are able to organize our own sports program.    
 
                Q:           Are scholarships available for new students?
                A:            Scholarship money is limited.  After applications are received, an applicant may request assistance through scholarships.  Recipients are determined by the CCA Board.  No full scholarships are awarded.

Reading Recovery
Dr. Valerie Wilson
Will be presenting the Reading Recovery program now in place at Crossroads Christian Academy. 
This is of special interest to parents of Kindergarteners and 1st graders.
Any one is welcome to attend.
 
What is Reading Recovery?
Reading Recovery is a highly effective short-term intervention of one-to-one tutoring for at-risk first graders. The intervention is most effective when it is available to all students who need it and is used as a supplement to good classroom teaching.
 
Individual students receive half-hour lessons for 12 to 20 weeks with a specially trained Reading Recovery teacher. As soon as students can meet grade-level expectations and demonstrate that they can continue to work independently in the classroom, their lessons are discontinued, and new students begin individual instruction.
 
Since 1984 when Reading Recovery began in the United States, approximately 75% of students who complete the full 12- to 20-week intervention can meet grade-level expectations in reading and writing. Follow-up studies indicate that most Reading Recovery students also do well on standardized tests and maintain their gains in later years.
 
Crossroads Christian Academy is blessed to have Dr. Valerie Wilson on staff. Valerie is both a Reading Recovery Teacher and Teacher Leader, meaning she oversees other Reading Recovery teachers and facilitates their professional development. Valerie has her Ph.D. in early literacy and is a professor at Ohio Christian University where she is the Director of Teacher Education.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Crossroads Christian Academy
Nehemiah once prayed to the Lord, “Be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant [Nehemiah] prosper this day…(Neh. 1:11).” The outcome of this simple, yet focused, prayer was tremendous. God granted him favor in front of the temperamental King. God enabled him to travel to Jerusalem safely and to begin rebuilding the walls in peace. God gave Nehemiah amazing wisdom and courage in the face of many enemies who wanted to see him and all of the Jews fail. Ultimately, God empowered Nehemiah to rebuild the walls in only 52 days! What a remarkable answer to a simple prayer. 
Today, I offer a similar prayer to the Lord: “Let Your servants prosper as we continue to build Crossroads Christian Academy so that young minds may better understand Your Word and that they would develop a Biblical worldview in every subject area.”  I know that no undertaking should be done without first asking the Lord for His will. I believe that C.C.A. has already been blessed by God and that it will continue to do so only if everyone involved stays inside His will. I want this school to prosper just as the Jews living in Jerusalem did under the leadership of Nehemiah. Please join me in prayer this summer for returning, new, and prospective parents and their children, and for the staff of Crossroads Christian Academy. -Ellen Christopher, CCA Administrator
