Standards and Testing
Our faculty aligns daily instruction with our in-house curriculum standards, as well as educational requirements from the State of Missouri, to ensure that our graduates are able to pursue all that God has for them after their time at Center Cross Academy.
In addition, we partner with Renaissance Learning to administer the STAR Reading and Math assessments to all of our students three times throughout the school year. These assessments give our teachers and families the clearest in-the-moment data possible on how students are performing academically and how our teachers can best partner with families to ensure their continued growth.
