CBA’s Curricular Strategy

2022-01-19T14:45:50-05:00

Forming bilingual, bi-literate, intercultural learners in a Christ-Centered program In partnership with parents, CBA exists to inspire world changers through Christ-centered, inter-cultural, immersion-based education. Who are we? CBA seeks to kindle community change in Charleston by uniting and leveraging diverse families through providing developmentally appropriate, project-based, language immersion education. In this setting, we develop children linguistically, cognitively, socio-emotionally, and physically by equipping children to navigate cultures and languages, while learning and experiencing the love of the Triune God. Along with the school, students and their families will engage various cultures, combating unintentional and intentional racism, classism, xenophobia, poverty and broken [...]

MAP testing and progress reports

2022-01-17T10:55:15-05:00

The 2021-2022 school year is half over! We have just completed semester 1. It is CBA’s desire to partner with parents in the learning journey of each and every child. Communication about a student’s learning progress is an important part of that journey. Early childhood teachers are working diligently to prepare progress notes to communicate where your young students are socially, cognitively, and physically. Elementary teachers are diligently writing progress reports that communicate information on your child’s academic progress as well as their learning behaviors and character development that impacts all of learning. Each school year, CBA students in grades 1 [...]

A deeper dive into the “intercultural” aspect at CBA: A message from Dr. Johnson

2022-01-14T10:15:25-05:00

Our mission reads, Partnering with parents to inspire world changers through Christ-centered, intercultural, language immersion education. Every word and component has been intentionally crafted, trying to succinctly express our DNA. I want to do a deeper dive into the "intercultural" word. Various influences on culture include race, geographical region, home language, educational level, and socioeconomic status (to name a few). You might be interested in knowing CBA’s racial diversity. With a diverse population, we could have written “multicultural” into our mission statement, which would indicate our desire to be surrounded by different cultures. However, the word “intercultural” more deeply connotes an [...]

Should your child’s education be different from your education? A Message from Dr. Johnson

2022-01-17T13:15:30-05:00

Believe it or not, as parents, we do many things in life because that is the way our parents did it. From child-rearing, to eating habits, to the sport teams we cheer for (Go Tigers!) and what kind of pets we like or dislike. This often is true in the K12 education we choose for our children. Traditional= safe, neutral, right?... and no one wants to risk messing up their child’s education. In our upcoming parent chats, I will share our curricular vision.   Hear specifically about first grade and the way we approach reading here.  One of our parents has given [...]

2021 Christmas Program at Charleston Bilingual Academy

2022-01-03T12:01:16-05:00

What a wonderful Christmas season we had! Our students took the 2021 holiday season to learn about how people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Through our reimagined Christmas program, students and their families were able to tour our campus where they made stops in spots that reflected different countries in Asia, North and South America, and Europe. We even had a petting zoo with animals typically found in the Holy Land.  The theme of our Christmas program was Christmas Around the World. Most of our program was outside because of COVID considerations,  but each class was also [...]
