Christian Academy partners with Christian parents desiring to enhance
or extend home education. As a tutorial and co-op, we use the
resources of each family to accomplish all the academic as well as
social needs of our students. We welcome families who are active
in a local church, and families who have registered with an umbrella
school under the Tennessee Homeschooler's Law.
Elementary classes are offered from 9:30am - 1:00pm
beginning on the Monday after Labor Day. Classes consist of 12-week or 24
-week courses. Parents may choose for their children to participate in
one, two or all three hours. Our elementary program is designed to be one
of hands-on and enrichment in various subjects. We have classes for
kindergarten through the sixth grade and focus on the arts, science, and
history.
Our secondary program is purposefully academic while
supplying our teenagers a wonderful opportunity to interact with one another.
Scheduled classes meet from 8:00am -3:00pm. for 30 weeks. Our desire is to help meet the
desire of providing students with consistent and
challenging education some of which may be more difficult to teach at
home. For
those students who desire to graduate from high school and attend
college, these classes are very valuable. Classes are offered in the
following subjects: English, math, science, history, Spanish, the arts,
and other electives
Christian
teachers in a Christian environment will teach the classes according to
a Christian worldview. Each family will be required to sign a Statement
of Faith to ensure the success of our program.
We will also require that all students honor God by respecting the
teachers, other parents, and each other.
As the primary
teacher, the parent is responsible for the teaching,
training, and education of the student. There are ample opportunities to serve as
a volunteer. We encourage
parents to take an active role in the weekly workings of the Academy.
We desire to help establish friendships among families and parents and
peers alike.
