TEACHING AT CCA
The teachers at CCA are partners with the families of our school. The teacher’s role is to work with the parents to instruct and train students in all subject areas assigned by the administration. Included in those expectations are planning, reporting, and communication with the administration. Further, the teachers will seek to establish and maintain an environment in the classroom, which promotes growth and maturity; this includes spiritual, academic, emotional, social and physical growth. The teacher’s role in discipline is to reinforce moral training that is already being taught at home, not vice versa. The Teachers uphold the school’s view that the parents are first and foremost responsible for their child’s education. The relationship between the parent and the teacher will be based on trust and a mutual desire to honor the Lord Jesus Christ in all that is taught to our children.
QUALIFICATIONS
Teacher affirms that, as part of the qualifications for this position, he or she is a “born again” Christian who knows the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. (I John 3:3; I Peter 1:23).

Regular attendance at a local Christian church is important to the staff and families at CCA. Just as we ask our parents, we ask our staff to make church attendance important.

This reference form will be updated after three years for consideration of continued employment.
