EDUCATION OF SPIRITUALITY
Objectives
CCAS believes in the one and only God. CCAS is a faith-based school that professes with faith that God created everything on Heaven and Earth and saved His people. CCAS also proclaims that Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead and that the Holy Spirit lives inside His people.
Ephesians 2:11-22, the verse for which CCAS is named, serves as the primary focus for CCAS' Christian education. In a world filled with barriers, CCAS' Christian education program seeks to develop students who can act as cornerstones in bridging those barriers by enacting forgiveness and promoting peace.
Goals
- Faith Education - Belief in God’s Word; faith formation through Scripture

- Spirituality - Paradigm shift for individuals and the society through faith; creating a society and individuals who seek eternal and higher values
- Leadership - Living a life that transforms the world with positive influence; nurturing global leaders who enrich the world with positive influence
- Jubilee - Establishing a Christian worldview centered on the biblical Jubilee, growing a mature outlook that values equity and new beginnings
- Knowledge of God, Wisdom of Self – Understanding oneself as created in God’s image; developing a clear sense of identity during youth and discovering a personal vision
CHARACTER LESSON
CCAS provides a healthy religious education and Christian worldviews based on the Bible, resulting in the best possible character education. This is also CCAS' educational philosophy. CCAS professes that humans were made in God's image and that education in character, based on Christian worldviews, is the best education to bring out humans' endless potential, dignity, and kindness. Regardless of one's age, color, ethnicity, gender, social position, or economic status, everyone is equal in the eyes of God, and our happiness matters to Him.
To develop this education in character, CCAS teaches philosophy and ethics through biblical counseling and Bible classes; students are challenged to grow in their spiritual walk, as they are guided to take biblical principles and apply them to real-life circumstances. CCAS education in character is built in the belief that the purpose of God's creation of humans was so that their acts of kindness could reflect His image of God, one the world cannot see. The students will learn to be witnesses of God's grace.
Weekly Worship
Once a week, students and teachers from each division, elementary, middle, and high school, gather separately to worship God together. The worship service, led by a student praise team and a message from the chaplain, is a cornerstone for spiritual growth and faith education.
