Accreditation
CCA's High School is accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission. Accreditation qualifies our graduates to receive the Hope Scholarship and assures parents that a school meets nationally approved standards for education.

International students seeking admission must call:  770-819-6443

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.
