who we are should align with your child's future
The Student is Our Focus
Here at the Christian Academy, your child's journey is at the heart of everything we do. We began in 1976, fueled by the dreams of parents in St. Louis who envisioned a brighter, more faith-centered future for their children. They yearned for a school where teachers could share their faith openly, where students could immerse themselves in Biblical truths daily, and where the environment radiated with God's presence. Through their prayers and tireless efforts, Christian Academy was established.
Commitment
Our commitment to your child's spiritual and academic growth remains unwavering. We aspire to create a space where students and teachers pray together, where the Bible is integrated into every lesson—whether it's history, science, or any other subject.
Hard Work
Our goal is to challenge your child academically, encourage their athletic excellence, and instill the value of hard work.
Meaning
Today, we proudly serve students from 12 months through 12th grade. At CA, we believe in nurturing students to live lives of meaning—to God, society, and themselves.
Vision
These values are the cornerstone of our mission, and with God's help, we strive to make the world a better place with every student who steps through our doors.
Your child's journey is at the heart of everything we do!

Dear Parent,
We are very proud of our program. We seek to help our students develop spiritually through our emphasis on daily chapel, Bible class and making sure our Godly worldview permeates all our classes and extracurricular activities. In a time when our country is struggling, we seek to develop our students into positive contributing members of their society, understanding their accountability to others through service outside themselves.
We also seek to help them develop their personal character traits of integrity, time management and a strong work ethic. These traits all fall in line with our mission statement of, "...preparing our students to live a life of value and meaning to God, society and self." Our smaller class sizes lend themselves to a more one-on-one approach with the student/teacher relationship. A student’s individual academic needs can be better addressed with fewer interruptions. They are certainly challenged to achieve at a higher level academically. The safe, family-type atmosphere has helped us to get to know each child on a more personal level. I truly believe that this type of atmosphere greatly enhances the schooling experience.
Our program is accredited by the National Christian School Association (NCSA), as well as Cognia (formerly AdvancEd/ North Central Association). This means we must adhere to rigid requirements set by these educational organizations in order to retain this status.
Our students are given various opportunities for involvement, leadership and growth in their years at Christian Academy. From serving as a class officer or a member of our Student Council, leading an athletic team or participating in our fine arts department, we want to instill in our students an appreciation for their own talent and abilities, the contributions of others and the blessing of a personal faith as it all works together.
For the Kids,
Carla J. Payne, Administrator
