"It felt really good, relief, to get accepted to college before Christmas my senior year; CCA really helped me."

CCA International Student Program
Our mission with F-1 international high school students is to prepare them for admission and success in the American university system.
We encourage international students to build strong relationships with American students and integrate into American culture. CCA is committed to equipping and meeting the needs of students through spiritual knowledge in Jesus Christ while providing them with academic excellence.
Our mission for visitation international students is to allow them to experience a Christ-centered traditional American classroom setting. Our goal is for these students to return to CCA as F-1 students.

2010/2011 International Club
Tracie Weber - International Club Coordinator
The International Club is a fun way to learn about American culture, practice English, and deepen friendships. We also learn about each other's travel experiences, practices, and cultures.
We visit museums, amusement parks, tourist sites, nature parks, and theatres. We have picnics, watch movies, climb mountains, shop, and try new restaurants. It is a privilege for me to be a part of this wonderful group of students.
