School Profile

Cortland Christian Academy exists to accurately represent Jesus Christ through a partnership with parents for the spiritual, intellectual and social development of students in a safe and caring school community so that they are equipped to think and act biblically. We endeavor to prepare our students for both their earthly and eternal lives.  The school was founded in 1980 and offers pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade in a traditional classroom structure.

CCA is a non-public school and is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International.

CCA offers a college preparatory curriculum in our high school with four years of Bible, English, and History required for graduation. CCA uses a mixture of ACSI, A Beka, Bob Jones, Positive Action, Purposeful Design and Saxon curriculum within the classrooms. 

CCA has a fine arts program with choir, orchestra, private instrumental lessons, theater, and art instruction.

CCA views sports as an integral part of our overall program.  CCA's teams compete in the NYPENN Christian Athletic Conference for soccer and basketball.
