John is excited to serve as a board member at CCA. His wife, Celeste, and he wanted a school that would teach their boys to critically think and develop a Biblical Worldview. Classical Christian Academy is that school, and for that reason John is thrilled to serve in a capacity that facilitates just that.

John’s two boys, Jacob and Ashton, have grown to love the environment that CCA provides both academically and spiritually. Raising his children in an environment that consistently points to God and provides them the opportunity to challenge their faith in a safe setting while they are still at home is his gotheyal. Both he and his wife have been raised in a Christian home since were young and have sought to pursue God with their whole hearts throughout their lives.

Currently, John has the opportunity to serve at Real Life Ministries teaching youth Sunday school and leading a Life Group. He is a second generation pediatric dentist with an office in Coeur d’Alene and one in Sandpoint.

As a former staff member from 2008 to 2016, Julie is glad to be part of the CCA community again. She believes in an education firmly rooted in Biblical truth and embraces the tool of Classical education that guides a student to the discovery of truth and seeks to produce life-long learners. As John Milton Gregory states, “Excite and direct the self-activities of the learner, and tell him nothing he can discover himself.” For true education is not that which gives knowledge, but that which stimulates students to gain knowledge.

Julie earned her B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting before staying home to raise and home educate her three sons. She recently obtained her CPA license and works at a local accounting firm where she enjoys helping individuals and small business owners to steward their resources effectively. Julie and Bob, her husband of over 31 years, enjoy running, hiking and spending time with family, which includes their first grandchild. She also enjoys investing her time serving in women’s development ministries.

As a software engineer Aaron sees the demand for STEM qualified graduates. However, if we turn out a bunch of worker bees, who will be running our businesses and our government? He sees a gap in our modern education where we fail to educate the whole person.

We need graduates who can create good arguments and counter bad arguments (Logic). We need graduates who can eloquently express their ideas (Rhetoric). We need graduates who can defend their Christian faith. We need heroes who will do the right thing. Aaron has been on the board since September 2011. He has two children who love CCA. He attends church at Real Life Ministries.
