Our newest Commander is here!
We are beaming with excitement that we finally get to introduce our CCA family to Shiloh.
Born May 26th at 2pm to our Head of School, Dr. Matthew and Nichole Stone, she is the most beautiful girl. Mom, Dad, brothers and sister are in love with little Shiloh and are doing great!
Welcome to the family sweet girl!
We can't wait for everyone to meet her very soon.

Dear CCA Teachers and Staff,
Thank you for having:
- the courage to open a new school,
- the courtesy to treat our students, families, and one another with kindness and respect,
- the honesty to share how we can better support you,
- the humility to receive correction and continue growing,
- the perseverance to keep going through the challenges of a first year,
- the self-government to model strong character every single day, and
- the service to care for our students and families so faithfully.
See you next fall!
Yesterday Cherokee Classical celebrated a community who has done so much for us. We hosted our first annual PVA thank you breakfast. We couldn’t give them nearly as much as they gave us, but we did surprise them with a little performance from their own children. The kids loved it, the parents loved it, and it filled our hearts with so much joy!
Thank you to our CCA community. Your actions cannot possibly be repaid. commanders

Our first annual Field Day was a huge success! I’ll let our kids and parents speak for themselves “This was the best field day ever!” “I’ve been to all the field days for all the previous years at our other schools and this blew those away!” “This will be one of my best memories ever!”
Congratulations to Coach Slone and Coach Redman. You guys did an excellent job!!

🍦 What a wonderful afternoon of building community at our Rising 6th Grade Ice Cream Social!
Our current 5th grade students did an outstanding job welcoming the new families and students who will be joining the 6th grade class next year at Cherokee Classical Academy. From ice cream and games to new friendships being formed, it was a joy to see students connecting as they begin this exciting next chapter together.
We are grateful for the opportunity to continue building a strong and welcoming school community!

This week is teacher appreciation week and we couldn’t be more proud. Three of our very own teachers were chosen by the Georgia Charter School Association, from a very large pool of incredibly qualified teachers throughout the state, and awarded the teacher spotlight during this very special week.
Congratulations to Mrs. Gravatt, Mrs. Sarpong and Ms. Gibson. We are so proud of you and humbled to have you each as a part of our CCA community.
