The CTA middle school offers small class size, opportunity for community service and leadership, individualized and advanced learning options, and a staff committed to their students.
“Every day that I arrive here at C.T.A., I feel a sense of home. The staff, students, and families that fill our buildings are a daily reminder of how strong a school can be as a result of a shared vision, passion, intentionality, and support; every person here, from our staff to our students to our families to our administration, serves as leader for others--not solely in academics but also in personal growth. I take great pride in being a part of CTA through working with our middle school population; it is my honor to work alongside my colleagues and our students every day. The relationships that we have built truly make us more than a community; we are a family!” -Jenny Bangma MS ELA teacher.

8th grade celebrating Friday with a STEAM activity: Who can build the highest free-standing tower?
CTA Elementary WIN Time:
We have strategically organized our schedule in K-5th grade to better support teachers and students so that our intervention time no longer only applies to just our below grade level learners but to ALL students. Hence the title, WIN which stands for “Whatever I Need.”
We have arranged our elementary schedules with two 30-minute blocks on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. During this time our grade level teachers, special education teacher, instructional coach, two interventionists and two teacher’s aides all go into classrooms to support small group instruction. Having three staff members in each classroom allows us to support our below grade level learners with the growth instruction that they need, push our on-grade level students and extend the learning of our above grade level students. Our student data is being tracked weekly and we have weekly team meetings with our instructional coach, special education and general education teachers. These meetings allow our staff to dialogue around student data and plan our instructional strategies that will best support all students during our W.I.N. time.
