Upper School | 6-8
DEVELOPING WELL-ROUNDED SCHOLARS
Grades 6-8
Upper School students begin to use reason and logic as they master concepts drawn from what they have learned in earlier grades. The curriculum also increases in rigor, as they go deeper into academic subjects, and students learn the art of dialogue in seminar-style courses. As they mature, opportunities for mentorship and leadership emerge, equipping our scholars for the challenges and responsibilities of high school.
A Classical Curriculum
for Grades 6-8
- Learn Latin, examine primary sources, annotate classic literature, and wrestle with the “why” of mathematical and scientific concepts
- Have the opportunity to attend Academic Labs both during school and after school for extra help or to dive deeper into a topic. Faculty are available to engage and enrich each scholar.
- Practice habits of virtue and develop the discipline and character that will serve them well for a lifetime
- Build friendships and serve in leadership roles, including in student government and other extracurriculars
- Work with the Scholar Services Department to get service hour requirements accomplished for graduation and get assistance with college and career planning

The faculty and staff at CCA are not only masters of the subject matter they teach, they are incredible examples of how to live a life of virtue and character.
