CCA-Central Christian Academy-Wichita

Senior Trip | Divide, Colorado 🏔️

The Class of 2027 kicked off their senior year with an unforgettable trip to Divide, Colorado! From cheering one another on through the zipline and white water rafting to setting a new camp slip-n-slide record with 11 people down at once, the trip was full of adventure, laughter, and memories.

Some of the most meaningful moments came around the fire, with hours of worship, intentional conversations, and time to connect with classmates outside the busyness of the school day.

As this class begins their final year at CCA, they are already coming together to plan and prepare for their best year yet.

God has mighty plans for the Class of 2027, and CCA can’t wait to see how He works in and through them this year. ❤️

We’re excited to welcome Miss Allison Heeren to the Central Christian Academy family as the newest member of our Learner Services team!

Miss Heeren brings experience serving students with unique needs and will be a great addition on to our fantastic explore staff, helping students grow academically and thrive in a Christ centered environment.

We’re grateful for how God continues to provide opportunities to serve students with diverse learning needs and to equip them for success. Please join us in praying for Miss Heeren, the students she’ll serve, and our Learner Services team as they begin an exciting new school year!

Learning, planting, and growing! 🌱 Our 2nd graders explored plants in the Outdoor Learning Center and helped care for the garden. Pull some weeds or plant something with your kids this summer—you never know what they’ll learn!

Who says PE has to stay in the gym? 💪🏽 This summer our high school PE students hit Topgolf, the bowling alley, explored the Nature Center, learned CPR and First Aid, tackled team-building challenges, created their own games, assisted in building demolition and enjoyed plenty of fun along the way. Summer learning looked a little different—and we loved it!

We’re excited to introduce Mr. Cole Graddy as Central Christian Academy’s High School Bible Teacher and Spiritual Life Director!

Mr. Graddy has faithfully served as a junior high and high school math teacher, and we’re excited to see him step into this new opportunity. He will teach 9th and 12th grade Bible while continuing to invest in students through his love for God’s Word.

As our Spiritual Life Director, Mr. Graddy will lead our chapel program and oversee secondary retreats and mission trips, helping encourage students as they grow in their faith. He will also continue serving as CCA’s Instructional Coach, mentoring and supporting our teachers.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Graddy and praying for him as he begins this important new role. We’re thankful for the ways God is continuing to use him to impact the lives of our students and staff!

Summer might have some of you thinking about the ocean! 🌊 At the end of the school year, our 2nd graders teamed up with our high school biology students to explore the layers of the ocean through a hands-on science experiment. One of our favorite things at CCA is watching students of all ages learn, serve, and grow together!
