• “An hour-long commute may seem like a sacrifice to some, but for our family, it is an investment in what matters most. Clinton Christian Academy has transformed our son's life. He has flourished academically, deepened his relationship with Christ, and gained confidence in who God created him to be. The teachers and staff pour into him with the same love, encouragement, and care they would give their own children. CCA is more than a school; it is a community that has helped shape our son's future and strengthened our entire family. We would make this drive again and again because the impact of CCA is truly priceless." Tara Dull, Current Parent
• “Our family drives from Warrensburg to Clinton every day because we believe Clinton Christian Academy is the right place for our children. We wanted a school that provides a strong education while also sharing the Christian faith and values we teach at home. CCA has been a wonderful fit for our family, especially with our sons being involved in competitive sports. We love that the school supports athletics while keeping faith, academics and personal growth a priority. The drive is definitely a commitment. Between school, practices, and games, we drive around 600 miles every week. That means a lot of time on the road, planning, wear and tear on our vehicles, and with the cost of gas, a significant financial commitment as well. We are willing to make that investment because giving our children a strong Christian foundation, quality education, and positive influences is more important to us than convenience. We are thankful for the teachers, coaches, and staff who genuinely care about our kids. CCA is helping them grow academically, in their faith, and as young people with strong character and Christian values. CCA is helping give our children a strong foundation for their future, and we are grateful to be part of the CCA family.” Mariya Samoylenko, Current Parent

Alumni Testimonials
• "I attended CCA from Pre-School through graduation. One experience I wanted to share was the decision on whether or not to stay for high school. My parents let the choice be mine. When it came down to it, yes clubs and sports are important, but it comes down to quality education. I knew for a fact that the education I would receive in the public school system wouldn't compare to the education I had been receiving from CCA. I decided to stay at CCA for high school and ultimately, I wouldn't change my experience. I still got to experience many sports and club opportunities. Most importantly, I received an education where faith and the Lord were integrated into my learning curriculum. Not only did I learn material necessary for academic success, but I grew my faith in the Lord. I learned how important it is to be a disciple of Him and to go out and tell the world about Him! The educational, moral, faith based qualities that CCA instills in every classroom has helped shape me into who I am today. I am forever thankful for the educational and spiritual supports I received. When it comes down to it, I encourage you to think about your child's future and how important a quality education is in today's society. Think about the importance of Christian instruction and guidance. Make the investment for your child long term, you won't regret it!" Audrey Higgins, Class of 2023
• "I attended CCA for three years of high school. During that time I was fortunate enough to build friendships that still exist to this day. I was challenged academically, which helped me to be more successful in my life after high school. I was also led to have a deeper, more meaningful faith. At CCA, I was taught how I can implement Christ into my everyday life and relationships. I am grateful to CCA and the lasting impact it has had on my life!" Jessica Steward, Class of 2022
• "CCA is such a positive environment for learning but more importantly, it has been an amazing place where teachers and students are able to encourage students spiritually. It has been a huge blessing in my life in more ways than I can imagine. CCA has been a tool to shape me into the person I have become today. It helps plant a foundation so deep that no one can ever take that away. Teachers acquire real life scenarios and biblical principles and tie it in to the academics they teach. Although times may be challenging with homework or the material seems hard, it pays off in the long run because CCA helps prepare kids where academically they will thrive and spiritually will grow into a selfless person. CCA is an amazing experience and I am so thankful I got to go to CCA. It helped prepare me for the world so I can go out and “prepare hearts and minds to impact the world for Jesus Christ”. Col. 3:23." Abigail Lewis, Class of 2016
• "I am beyond grateful for my education at CCA and the way each teacher poured into my life and truly wanted me and each of my classmates to understand what an amazing God we serve and how to have a personal relationship with Him. Small class sizes made learning much more one on one and my classmates were like family to me. CCA teachers wanted us to truly understand the curriculum and not just pass the test. I now realize how blessed I was to receive a Christian education and am so thankful for that as I use the things I have learned in high school and will use for the rest of my life." Claire Lowe, Class of 2015
• "I loved being a part of the Patriots family. The teachers were always there for me if I needed anything. The education I received gave me a huge boost over everyone else in High School. The other students in my class and I stick together. We are a family. We stick up for our family and don’t let them get hurt. I see now that CCA prepared us for the hardships of life. It taught me how to handle certain problems I faced in the public schools by going straight to the Lord in prayer. Sometimes it is hard to keep the morals I have learned into place, but I guess it is just the Lord testing me to see if still have faith. Thanks to CCA I have installed great morals and a very strong relationship with the Lord. If I hadn’t gone to CCA my life would be totally different. I would not be the person I am today, without the help of CCA. I am so glad that I could have the opportunity to go to CCA." Brittany Miller, Class of 2014.
• "Going to CCA gave me such a great opportunity. The small classes allowed me to learn more and connect with the teachers.

Hannah Adams, Class of 2014.
• "The education level is much higher than public school and it also gives a great biblical education to prepare children for the outside world." Ben Griffey, Class of 2013.
• "Like most children at an early age, I was very impressionable. I needed good people around me that could teach me about God as well as give me a good education. I got all of this and more at CCA. Learning about the Bible every day firmly rooted me in my faith and helped me understand what God wanted for my life. Not only did I have a good basis for my faith by the time I left, I was well prepared for high school in my education as well. I graduated with a head start compared to the other freshmen, with all of my classes being mostly a review. CCA provided a fantastic starting point for me to go in the world, armed with God’s word and a good education." Riley Williams, Class of 2011.
