Who We Are

CBA Classroom

Why we do it?

Each child is created intricately and wonderfully by the Triune God. And He designed each brain beautifully ready to learn. Brain-based research shows that children are language geniuses. We also know that students who learn two languages are more capable of learning additional languages.

Bilingual children demonstrate higher proficiencies in English, math, and critical thinking. Providing such a gift to your children opens countless doors for their lives, and we believe it is one of the first steps to inspiring our children to become world changers. And their foundation to changing the world is experiencing the love of this Triune God and then loving others just as Jesus loves us. We will model this for your child every class, every day.

Leading our Mission & Vision

Dr. Nathan Johnson

In partnership with parents, CBA exists to inspire world changers through Christ-centered, intercultural, immersion-based education.

Having studied education his whole career, Dr. Johnson has set out to build his dream school for his children. Yet, his vision essentially goes beyond his children to his community, for he believes the core of education is to inspire children to change their world (not be the center of their worlds).

Based on his doctoral research on bilingual and intercultural education, Charleston Bilingual Academy was founded on the powerful mission of “Inspiring World Changers” through Christ-centered, intercultural, language immersion education.

Through a project-based approach, CBA engages children’s language geniuses and various cultures, carving characters, instilling the love of God, and equipping intellects, in efforts to inspire children to impact lives around them regardless of linguistic and cultural barriers.
