The most supportive community, you are welcomed, seen, and known. The teachers want not only to teach you, but to foster a relationship. I'm so thankful for my experience here, I feel more than ready for college and how to navigate a broken world through Christian worldview.

CPA is lovely Christ-centered school in Middle TN. The teachers are great and the student body is fun and friendly.

They have taught me to learn with a Christ centered mindset and pursue upper level learning. The faculty cultivate learning and go out of their way to help the students. Our football team just won a state championship which created comradery among the students. I have loved my time at CPA and will be sad to leave.

We have three children in the elementary school and have come to love it primarily because of the people who pour into our children like no other school we have attended. Our kids are thriving academically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have found the academics to be dynamic in that they are const...

I currently am in high school at CPA. I have been here since second grade and have not been able to make a connection. The environment in my grade is causing me to switch schools. I see many kids,including myself, being made fun of because they are different, and the teachers just stand by and watch...
