What Sets Our Faculty Apart
Christ-Centered Approach: Every teacher integrates faith into their instruction, modeling Christian values and pointing students to Scripture throughout the school day.
Small Class Sizes: With an average class size of 15 students, our teachers know each child individually and can tailor their approach to meet each student’s needs.
Qualified & Experienced: Our faculty holds degrees in education and their subject areas, with many pursuing ongoing professional development to stay current with best practices.
Long Tenure: Teacher retention at CBA is exceptional. Many of our educators have been with us for over a decade, providing consistency and deep relationships with families.
More Than Teachers: Our staff serves as mentors, coaches, and prayer partners. They invest in students beyond the classroom — at chapel, on the field, and in one-on-one conversations.
