Welcome to Clear Creek Amana Community School District (CCACSD), where education meets excellence! 

At CCACSD we believe in fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment for students in grades PK-12. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to providing a well-rounded education that not only emphasizes academic excellence but also nurtures the development of essential life skills.

From the earliest years in preschool to the final stages of high school, we prioritize creating a supportive and engaging atmosphere where every student can thrive. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs and learning styles of our students, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching educational experience.

Collaboration between parents, educators, and the community is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. We encourage open communication and active participation to create a strong partnership in shaping the future of our students.

Where we are located:

Clear Creek Amana Community School District (CCACSD) is located 7 miles west of Iowa City and 20 miles south of Cedar Rapids where both Interstates 80 and 380 intersect. The Clear Creek Amana School District covers over 175 square miles of beautiful rural eastern Iowa countryside with fast growing municipalities.  Our school district includes the communities of Tiffin (population 4,500), Oxford (population 797), Amana Colonies (population 1,600) and the western edge of Coralville and North Liberty. We draw students from two counties (Iowa and Johnson) and a community-based population of around 17,300.

We Have Nine Operating Attendance Centers:

• CCA High School in Tiffin (grades 9-12)

• CCA Middle School in Tiffin (grades 6-8)

• East Ridge Elementary in Coralville (grades 4-5)

• Tiffin Elementary in Tiffin (grades K-1)

• Amana Elementary in Middle Amana (grades PK-4)

• North Bend Elementary in North Liberty (grades K-3)

• Clear Creek Elementary in Oxford (grades PK-4)

• Oak Hill Elementary in Tiffin (grades 2-3)

• Clipper Early Childhood Academy in Tiffin (PK)

The continued community support of education is evidenced by the voters passing major facility and school district construction projects to support the growing needs of the district. In 2022, voters passed a general bond referendum to build the 6th elementary attendance center for the district. East Ridge Elementary school opened for the 2024-2025 school year. Third grade students attending North Bend Elementary and Oak Hill Elementary will feed into East Ridge Elementary for 4th grade. All 5th grade students in the district will feed to East Ridge Elementary. In 2024-2025, the district opened Clipper Early Childhood Academy, a dedicated PK center, to address the growth on the east side of the district.
