Our Philosophy for Secondary EducationCCA Junior and Senior High School believes that every
student deserves access to education that places traditional academic
foundation in a contemporary context, engaging students’ hearts, minds
and spirits to explore the opportunities and address the challenges of
our ever-evolving world. Weaving together the kaleidoscope of
communities that makes up our student population together with the moral
foundation in faith, we strive to inspire our students to become
life-long learners, committed citizens, effective communicators,
critical thinkers and compassionate human beings
Born over three
decades ago, of a felt responsibility to prepare young people for the
world that awaits them, spiritually and academically, CCA seeks to spark
enduring curiosity, to promote personal, social, political, cultural,
moral and spiritual understanding, to instill respect for the life and
ecology of our earth, and to foster the sensitivity to embrace life's
deepest joys and mysteries.
In an interdenominational,
faith-based setting, we strive to partner with our students in their
personal and diverse relationships with god. In addition, and of equal
gravity to our spiritual goals, Calvary makes the following fundamental
commitments:
• Development of a diverse community in which
all differences - personal, cultural economic, ethnic, racial and
religious - become a framework for learning and for bringing people
together
• Recognition, appreciation, and encouragement of each person’s full and unique human potential
• Academic excellence and excellence in artistic and physical expression
• Responsible and honorable participation in the larger social community
In
the East Bay Area, our unique, WASC accredited, college preparatory
program invites students to pursue knowledge with passion and with the
courage to think independently, to question with clarity and purpose,
and to act with humility and wisdom. We envision an ideal education not
as a race for the accumulation of facts, but as an opportunity for
students to develop habits of mind and character, to nurture an
ever-expanding awareness of the human situation, and to acquire the
tools needed for effective personal, social, political and moral
participation.
Because intelligence expresses itself in
many ways, it is our goal to inspire young people to develop and
appreciate cognition, artistic and physical expression, imagination and
creativity, compassion, intuition, and the value of personal
understanding and well-being.
