Adelphia Classical Christian Academy (ACCA) is a true hybrid: balancing the best of a full time Christian school with the best of homeschooling. Students meet on campus 3 days a week for full time instruction. The other two days the learning takes place at home under the direction of the parents. The school establishes the curriculum, and provides the framework for the parent to be a success while at home.

We are homeschool-minded
We strive to keep the balance between home life/family time and academics. We feel strongly about the family unit and doing things as a family together and want to do everything we can to promote that in your homeschooling endeavor. We do not believe in homework for the sake of busywork. We desire the students to learn and structure our class time and assignments with the goal of maintaining that balance.

We are Christ-centered
The core mission of ACCA is to provide a Christian classical education that supports the development and enrichment of the mind and spirit, preparing students to make an impact for Christ in their communities and the world. We believe in a well-structured partnership between families and the school, encouraging and training parents how to be more effectively involved in their child’s learning.

We are a classical school
Our curriculum is thoroughly biblical, and utilizes the classical approach. The classical approach is in alignment with the natural developmental abilities of a child. Children quickly absorb facts during their younger years (Grades 1-4), learn to understand and analyze information during their middle school years (grades 5-8), and begin to develop their reasoning, synthesizing, and presentation skills during their high school years (grades 9-12). These three major developmental stages are also known as the grammar stage, the dialectic/logic stage, and the rhetoric stage, or otherwise known collectively as the Trivium. Utilizing the classical approach we help students to attain knowledge, train them how to think logically, and ultimately give them the rhetorical skills to be strong witnesses for Christ in the world.

We encourage creativity
We believe creativity is a precious gift given to each and every one of us from our Lord. We promote creativity in instruction by infusing class time with hands-on, collaborative activities that help students explore new knowledge in practical ways. We promote creativity by offering art, drama, music, and dance classes. We encourage creative expression by organizing musical and theatrical events where all our students have a chance to participate.

We build community
We believe in a synergistic approach to education by partnering with families who desire to fulfill the biblical calling to be involved in their child's education, but who also want a school with well trained teachers to provide the educational backstop. It is part of our mission to help equip families to better teach and reach their own children for Christ. We believe that God intends some of the most important lessons in life to be learned in the context of the home under the guidance of the parents (Deuteronomy 6:7-9), and also in the church. A strong education is important, but we also want to support and encourage discipleship. For this reason ACCA organizes regular “training and sharing” sessions for parents. These sessions are offered weekly to help train and encourage parents for the work they are going to complete at home with their own children. It also provides a platform for families to share ideas and methods that have worked for them.

All in all, we seek to balance the best a Christian school can offer with the best of homeschooling.
