General Info: CCA History

Community Christian Academy (CCA) had its beginning in the fall of 1992.  A small group of people from Cornerstone Community Church felt the need for a Christian school for their children to attend, and the school was opened as Cornerstone Academy at the beginning of the 1992-93 school year with four (4) teachers and thirty-five (35) students in Kindergarten through 6th grade.  It was housed at the church and came under the auspices of Cornerstone Community Church.  In August of 1994, the name and corporate status of the school were changed to Community Christian Academy, Inc., and the location was changed to 3230 Buckner Lane in Paducah.  CCA was considered a ministry of Cornerstone Community Church until 1999 when the Board of Directors voted to become independent of any one church.  In 2001, CCA received full accreditation with the Kentucky Non-Public Schools.

Continued growth led to the purchase of approximately 25 acres on Highway 45, 3 miles south of Lone Oak, on which to build a new school.  Students in grades 7 – 12 began the 2003-04 school year in the new facility at 110 Lebanon Church Road.  The sixth grade joined them in 2008.  CCA will begin the 2010-11 school year with 220 students and 34 faculty members.  Kindergarten classes are housed at Paducah’s First Baptist Church, 2890 Broadway.  Grades 1 – 5 are housed at the Oasis Christian Center facility at 3230 Buckner Lane.

Over the past eighteen (18) years, CCA has been blessed with administrators, teachers, and leaders who have committed to developing CCA into a high-quality, affordable Christian educational alternative.
