WAVE – 12 Years Comes Down to a Day: High Schoolers with Down syndrome become Some of the First in Kentucky to Graduate from Integrated Program – Providence School at Christian Academy of Louisville
What’s It Like to Join Christian Academy in High School?
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to transition to Christian Academy as an older student? We’d love to help answer that by sharing senior Claire Trask’s story with you.
Rather than graduating early as a junior from her previous school, Claire chose to continue her high school journey at Christian Academy of Indiana. Although she has only been a part of our school family for two years, she has fully immersed herself through involvement in girls golf, tennis and mission trips to Honduras.
Claire’s story is a wonderful example of the meaningful relationships, opportunities and Christ-centered community that students can find at Christian Academy. Click here to hear her full story! We know you will be encouraged and blessed by hearing from her, just as we were.
Whether you have attended one of our open houses, scheduled a tour or are simply exploring what Christian Academy could offer your family, we are grateful for your interest and so glad you’re here.
If you would like to learn more about Christian Academy, please visit the Admissions page on our website. To schedule a tour, call (502) 244-3225. You may also contact Lorrie Baechtel, Director of Enrollment and Marketing, at [email protected] or (502) 753-4590 with any questions.
Warriors, Join Us for our First Networking Event!
We are excited to invite the Warrior community to the launch of the very first CAI Warrior Business Networking Group on Thursday, June 4 at 9 a.m. at Christian Academy of Indiana. This first gathering is free and open to everyone in the CAI community who would like to connect, build relationships and support one another.
This new group is being created to bring together CAI alumni, alumni parents, current parents, grandparents, local business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals who share a heart for Christian Academy and a desire to build meaningful connections.
Our hope is simple – to create a space where business leaders within the CAI community can meet one another, build relationships, support each other’s work and strengthen the mission of Christian Academy of Indiana.
At this first gathering, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other business owners and professionals, hear the vision for this new networking group and learn how you can be part of what God is doing in and through the CAI community.
Whether you own a business, lead a team, work in a professional field or simply want to support Christian education and connect with others in the Warrior family, we would love for you to join us.
Please RSVP below. Questions? Contact Thomas Gwinn, Director of Development, at (502) 939-3023 or [email protected].

Considering CAL? Take a Look at Our Biomedical Science Program
Photos from our recent annual White Coat Ceremony
We are so excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary of our School of Biomedical Science!
The School of Biomedical Science utilizes curriculum from Project Lead the Way, the nation’s premier provider of STEM curriculum. Students in the School of Biomedical Science learn how to investigate a crime scene, build human body systems and explore genetic engineering. By the end of their senior year, students will have earned college credit, developed portfolios and shadowed professionals in hospitals and clinics to discover their passions and gifts within the medical field.
This program began in 2014 with 12 students and has now grown to 197 students! Over the last decade, we have awarded 481 students with their white coats and over 167 diplomas of distinction in the School of Biomedical Science. Yearly, since 2018, Project Lead the Way has recognized CAL for the strength of the program as a School of Distinction.
In addition to our School of Biomedical Science, we offer a School of Engineering, School of the Arts and School of Spiritual Formation as Diplomas of Distinction. Each of these programs offers a rigorous curriculum with robust, hands-on experiences that equip students for professional and collegiate preparation in these areas of study. Christian Academy truly has something to offer every student.
Whether you are a current family, have attended one of our open houses, scheduled a tour or are simply exploring what Christian Academy can offer your child, we are so glad you’re here and grateful for your interest in Christian Academy.
If you would like more information about our school or our Diplomas of Distinction, please visit the Admissions page on our website. To schedule a tour, please call (502) 244-3225. You may also reach out to Lorrie Baechtel, Director of Admissions, at [email protected] or (502) 753-4590 with any questions.
