Good teachers - weak, ineffective administration. You can't have one without the other and it be a good school. Would not recommend.

I have three children at CAC and it has been a great educational experience for all three. The staff is greatly involved making sure that each child receives an individualized education. My middle school child loves his teachers and has been gently guided into becoming a motivated student. The lower elementary staff is particularly caring and top notch. It feels like going to school with a family.
