Culture
FourteenSix Christian Academy is in close relationship with Calvary Chapel FourteenSix. Calvary Chapel Distinctives (ISBN-10: 0936728809) and The Philosophy of Ministry Calvary Chapel (ISBN: 978-1-934820-29-2) are good resources to become familiar with Calvary Chapel.
FCA incorporates the ancient classical three-stage education philosophy. This includes the Data stage which is what-based learning, the memory of facts as building blocks for 1st-5th grade.
The Discussion stage which is why-based learning, which is answering why things work or happen or matter for Middle School students. The demonstration stage is the how-based learning where students research a subject and present what has been learned through papers, mini-lessons, debates, and presentations for High School students. This classical education can also be described as the grammar stage, logic stage, and rhetoric stage. Dorthy Sayers The Lost Tools of Learning is a resource that explains this educational philosophy well.
