School Notes
- Christian Family Academy is a non-denominational Christian community that works together to provide a Biblical education for our children. The Bible is the basis for our educational philosophy, organizational structure, curriculum and methodology. We are not affiliated with a specific church and our families represent more than 20 different churches.
- Our desire at Christian Family Academy is to make the tool of Christian education available to all families who are seeking to train their children according to Biblical principles. We believe that finances should never be the reason why a child cannot receive this education. We believe that parents are the primary dispensers of training, and that our job is to work in conjunction with their role as disciple-makers. We believe that ministry is both local and global. We believe that every Christ-follower has a role to play in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I am a grandmother of a 5-year-old boy, he started CFA when he was 4, I can't say enough about the staff in preK, so good with the kids and my grandson has came a long way with these ladies, he has learned so much spiritual and educational there were times that I couldn't even believe what he came home teaching me on what he has learned with full of questions wanting to know more the teachers kept him interested and was so kind and loving, no doubt if you're interested in a private Christian school this is the one.
