Elementary School
One weekly class period, scheduled around core academics and specials.
Program Details
How It Works
A step-by-step look at what participation actually looks like for a family — who signs what, when class meets, what students learn, and how your child gets back to school without missing academic time.
The Process
Four steps, start to finish.
From the permission slip to the walk back through the school doors, here is the whole sequence.
- 1
Parent signs the consent form
You complete a short registration and written permission form — nothing begins without your signature.
- 2
The school approves the release
Your student is released from a single non-core class period with the school’s approval on file.
- 3
Class meets off campus
Students walk to the Little Red School House, just across from the New London Public School building, for their CCA character class — always off school property, never inside the school itself.
- 4
Student returns to school
They are back in the building for the next period with no core academic time lost.
Schedule
When class meets, by grade level.
The cadence changes with age, but the commitment stays small and the academic day stays intact.
Middle School
Available daily as an elective course.
High School
Weekly sessions during study hall or lunch.
Curriculum
What Students Learn
Every class is built around timeless biblical principles that help students make wise choices, build healthy relationships, and grow into responsible members of their families, schools, and community.
Questions
What parents ask us first.
No — CCA is entirely community and volunteer funded. There is no tuition, no fee, and no supply list for participating families.
No — classes are scheduled around core academic time. Students are released from a non-core period and are back for the next one.
No — it is completely voluntary and requires signed parental permission. Students who do not participate simply stay in their regular period.
A small, trained teaching staff leads the lessons, supported by volunteer helpers from local churches. Everyone — paid or volunteer — is fingerprint background-checked before they ever step into a classroom.
Every staff member and volunteer at CCA is required to complete Ohio BCI and FBI fingerprint background checks — the same two checks the State of Ohio requires of its teachers. Beyond that, adults are never alone in a room with students, and every lesson is reviewed by our board. We believe you can never be too safe, and we want families to have confidence their children are learning in a safe, trustworthy, and Christ-centered environment.

Registration takes about two minutes. And if you would rather help lead, our volunteers serve right alongside our teaching staff to make every class possible.
