CCCA began in 1989 when a group of parents decided they wanted the education for their children to be based on a Christian worldview and not a secular worldview. For the last 31 years Cherry Coulee has worked hard to provide a strong Biblical base for students in our community and abroad. CCCA serves predominantly an agricultural-based community. Students come to the school from as far away as Etzikom and Medicine Hat. The town of Bow Island has a population of just over 2000. The town has three other schools, a public school (ECS-12,) a Catholic school (ECS-12) and a Holdeman Mennonite school (ECS- 9). A public school in Burdett (11 km East) serves the needs of many Mennonite students in the area.
The school program is for students, ECS through grade twelve. Bible is taught as a required course for all grades. Junior High options are: Outdoor Education, Home Economics, Computers, Robotics, Art and Drama (alternating years). Computer technology, Art, Drama, and Music have been taught from Grades 3-12.
An early literacy program was added to enhance the reading program primarily at the ECS through Grade 2 levels. A majority of our students come from a Mexican Mennonite background and are also ESL students as their parents still speak mostly Low German at home.
