CCA Families
Keeping you connected.
Resources for Families
You, the parents, are the primary educators of your children. We want you as connected to your child's Capstone experience as possible. Here you can find calendars, connect with your child's classroom and update your information in FACTS, get involved with the Capstone Parent Fellowship, get your Capstone clothing and gear, and catch up on reading First Things at Capstone.
Calendars
No matter the time of year, there's a lot happening at Capstone. Review and subscribe to the master calendar here.
FACTS
FACTS is our school information system. You can use it to keep your family's contact information and information about your children up-to-date and to view and retrieve important archived school documents and forms. Students in grades 6 and up can view their gradebook in FACTS.

CPF calls parents together to build community among Capstone families, faculty, and staff through prayer, service, and purposeful events that develop lasting ties among the Golden Gryphons.

First Things at Capstone
Our faculty, staff, and leadership share with the Capstone community the guiding principles of the academy.
First Things at Capstone articles
- Title
- A Christ-Centered Education
- Description
- The first of our covenant principles is Christ-centered education. The term is often used by Christian schools, so what does it mean at Capstone? We draw this principle from Colossians 3:15-19, among other biblical passages and observations from great thinkers over the millennia.

- Title
- Covenant
- Description
- When each of us joined Capstone, we affirmed our commitment to work as partners under the Capstone Community Covenant. The covenant is informed and directed by our shared faith. To be sure, within our “business” of doing school, we utilize contracts. You signed a financial contract when you enrolled your children. Those legally binding documents explain the legal obligations of the school and the parent. Should one of us not fulfill our part in the contract, the other can stop delivering services or making payments. Contracts are not built upon trust but rather exist because trust is fragile when new business relationships are first begun. Contracts are a necessary good in a sinful world.

- Title
- The Purpose of Education in a Meaningful Life
- Description
- What is education for? This question is not easy to answer. Our ancestors had a tradition of responding to questions with the phrase, “We distinguish the answer.” In other words, there’s more than a single right answer.
