Athletic Program
Cumberland is a member of the
Independent Christian Schools of Georgia and Alabama/Greater Atlanta
Christian Athletic Conference. This affiliation provides the players
with excellent competition, tournament play, and Christian fellowship.
CCA's sports include basketball, golf, volleyball, tackle football,
baseball, softball, cross country, tennis, and cheerleading.
Curriculum
Our curriculum reflects our
Christian perspective and is designed to prepare the student for
college. A Beka and Bob Jones University Press materials serve as the
core curriculum and are supplemented with other publishers. Scripture
is an integral part of all curriculum.
Discipline
CCA generally follows the
written works of Dr. James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, in
disciplining children. Loving, firm guidance gains the respect and
cooperation of students.
Faculty
The faculty is committed to
Christian living under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Teachers hold
college degrees and must demonstrate, by word and deed, their
allegiance to the Christian lifestyle. No member of the faculty or
staff is authorized at any time to impose his or her non-essential
beliefs upon the students. Strict adherence to the biblical basics and
confinement within them is required of the faculty and staff.
Fundraising
All CCA families are
encouraged to become actively involved in fundraising events. We have
an annual school-wide fundraiser in the fall.
Lunches
CCA offers a lunch program for
1st-12th grades provided by local restaurants or prepared by our staff.
Students may also bring a lunch from home.

Students
CCA's mission is to offer
Christ-centered instruction that will transform each student's heart,
soul, and mind. We seek students that are willing to grow not only
intellectually, but also emotionally, physically, morally, and
spiritually. Academically, we look for average or above average
students who can succeed in a traditional classroom environment. CCA
students are diverse in terms of economic, ethnic, and denominational
backgrounds. They exhibit high academic and personal achievement. We
expect our students to conduct themselves in a way that will bring
honor to Jesus Christ, their families, and their school.
Testing
The Stanford Achievement Test
is administered to students in grades K5 through 12. CCA administers
the PLAN test to 9th graders and the PSAT to grades 10 and 11 during
the fall each year. We offer these tests for the purpose of preparing
students for the SAT and ACT.
