Our MissionRAISE Christian Academy exists to, alongside parents and a faith community, raise and develop children to thrive in relationships, academics, imagination & creativity, spiritual truth, and physical health.Why RAISE?Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a parent will ever make.
There are many great options for private Christian schools right in our area.
So why would a parent choose RAISE Christian Academy for the education of their child(ren)? If you're like me, you may not have even known RAISE Christian Academy existed until you began the arduous search for the right school.For my family, we were looking for a rich, inquiry-based curriculum, support for our solid Christian values, a before and after school program, and options for our younger family members.
We learned that RAISE Christian Academy offers their Lower School option to complement the Upper School K3-5th grade.
RAISE Christian Academy's Lower School provides extraordinary Birth to Pre-K Prep programming with the highest research-based curriculum available.

I have 2 grandchildren who attend this school. The classrooms are spacious with so much to explore and do. The kids cry when they leave. The science lab is a favorite, as well as the Reggio Art Studio.
