School Notes
- Founded in 1953, CRA prides itself in providing affordable Christian education that "builds leaders and builds followers." CRA builds leaders through its challenging academic programs and by providing opportunities for students to serve one another and the community. At the heart of the school's mission, however, is "building followers"-nurturing discipleship within the heart of each student through daily Bible study, worship, and a campus culture of Christian values and examples. With a K-12 enrollment of just 343, students aren't lost in a sea of faces. Our school setting hearkens back to an earlier era of smaller schools where everyone knew each other's families, and school was a place of familial connection. At CRA, we're small enough to make sure every student receives the attention and love they deserve.Crowley's Ridge Academy (CRA) is a private Christian school located in Paragould, Arkansas. The school is affiliated with churches of Christ but welcomes students regardless of religious background. CRA is fully accredited by the Arkansas Non-Public School Accrediting Association (ANSAA) and offers a rigorous college preparatory educational experience.
