From one ministry to a connected K–12 journey
The move from a K–8 school toward a private K–12 program broadened the years during which families could remain within one Christian educational community. That continuity now connects elementary and secondary learning, while Creation Station supports families before kindergarten and beyond the school day.
The 2022 nonprofit transition clarified the academy’s organizational identity. CCA remains connected to its ministry roots while operating as Crossroads Christian Academy of Circleville, Inc., the organization that also governs Creation Station.
Two campuses. One mission.
Opening Ohio Street Campus in January 2026 created a dedicated location for middle and high school and additional capacity at the Tarlton Road site. Families now encounter different spaces across the school journey, but both campuses share the same mission, educational philosophy and Warrior identity.
History at CCA is still being written. Future claims about enrollment, facilities or program growth should be added only after school confirmation, keeping the public story accurate as the academy continues to develop.
