Faithful. Joyful. Called to Teach.
At Cleveland Christian Academy, our teachers are more than educators — they are servant-leaders who see their work as a ministry unto the Lord. United by a calling to train up children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6), our staff pours love, wisdom, and excellence into every lesson. With hearts rooted in Christ and a passion for Christian education, they nurture both the minds and souls of our students — helping them grow in knowledge, character, and faith.
