OVERVIEW
Cumberland Christian Academy offers an academic curriculum through the traditional approach, which is developed to provide students with the best possible program of studies. There is an emphasis on the mastery of the fundamental blocks of materials necessary for satisfactory achievement in these areas. Along with the acquisitions of facts and concepts in the areas studied, emphasis is placed upon the development and exercise of the powers of reasoning. Methods of teaching that are proven to be effective are utilized with a constant search for better methods. Realizing the difference in innate ability, we encourage and expect each student to perform to his/her maximum. We believe the traditional system of education best educates the mind and builds good character. It also encourages competition and teaches the value of living under a free enterprise system of government.
