Our twice exceptional child with learning differences (SLD) made year over academic gains as measured by norm referenced standardized testing. CCA supported both sides of bell curve. My child has a complex neurological profile and CCA did a wonderful job at achieving growth while providing support. Our daughter had spent years in a specialized school for kids with learning differences out of necessity prior to being enrolled at CCA. This past year was her first in a more traditional classroom and we were very please with the classroom rigor and challenge for her as a gifted student as well as the support for her as a student needing special education. Our child asked to attend the district’s school for gifted this year. We supported her choice but she is now asking to go back to CCA because she feels she learned more there last year than she is in the districts gifted school this year. She also felt better supported at CCA. I would recommend this school. Close Quote
