Double your donation on Giving Tuesday
This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday. There is absolutely no pressure to give. We are dedicating this year’s Giving Tuesday funds toward teacher Christmas bonuses. We have a CBA family who is generously offering a $10,000 match to go toward those teacher bonuses. So whatever you (or grandparents or friends) give even $10, it will be […]
Mask update, protocol change
We have been so blessed this year at Charleston Bilingual Academy. Through our efforts as a community, we’ve protected so much of our in-person class time. That is vital to our students’ learning. We thank you for the precautions you’re taking. We thank our teachers for their flexibility in moving instruction outside and working with […]
What’s in the Works at CBA
We have some big dreams for CBA. Since the launch of Charleston Bilingual Academy, we’ve been on a God-sized adventure growing this school. We started seven years ago with three teachers and seven students. The teachers took the job as volunteers for the first month because we weren’t backed by deep pockets. But we trusted […]
Pulling off the Carpet: A Message from Mrs. Marilyn
For the last month, we have been remodeling our home. Every room in the house had walls covered with wallpaper that had been there for many many years. Floors were covered with old, stained carpet, and door-frames were soiled and scratched. The kitchen was small and enclosed, cut-off from the other rooms. But, the house […]

The Dad that Disciplines: A Message from Dr. Johnson
In the months leading up to having another baby, one of my daughters was brimming with anticipation. We just knew she was going to love this baby like her own. I believe she thought she was getting a real-life baby doll for Christmas. Honestly, I was as excited about watching her love her baby sister […]
Raising Boys: A Message from Dr. Johnson
I look forward to future blogs, parent chats and conversations about boys and girls. For now, I would like to provide some resources for parents of boys. Did you know that boys’ bodies start injecting them with testosterone by the 8th week after conception? Did you know that boys have up to 20 times more […]
A big thank you
During the last month, Charleston Bilingual Academy has been so blessed by our families, and we want to take the time to honor those people and convey our great gratitude.
