Our Selection Process
CCA does not compromise on a stringent faculty selection process — our goal is to build a faculty that reflects the character of Christ. Because CCA is a ministry of Calvary Port St Lucie, we benefit from the support of the church’s pastoral leadership, administrative staff, and integration with other ministries in our endeavor to make disciples and prepare our students spiritually, academically, and socially.

Humility: You First

Collaboration: We’re Better Together
Pursuing Excellence: Make It Better
Celebration: Create Moments
Empowering Leaders: Raise People Up
Authentic Love: Love Like Jesus
“From the interview process through my first week of orientation, getting to know the teachers and staff at CCA felt intentional and welcoming. We spent time together, shared meals, played games, participated in icebreakers, and learned what CCA stands for. Within the first day or two, I felt like I had already made so many new friends. I truly love the atmosphere here and how much everyone genuinely cares for one another and has each other’s back.”
