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.

Captains, Castles and Capes: Where Heroes Become Stars!, June 15-19
Christian Academy of Louisville rising first – sixth graders for the 2026-2027 school year are invited to join us June 15-19, from 12-1:30 p.m. in the elementary music room (124). Captains, Castles and Capes: Where Heroes Become Stars! is directed by Dr. Jeanie Hoover, Elementary Music and Performing Arts Club Director.
In this drama workshop that focuses on skits and characters, students will explore their imagination through high-energy theater games, creative movement, music and engaging warm-ups that build confidence and teamwork. Each day, campers dive into fun themes like swashbuckling pirates, magical fairy tales and daring superheroes as they create and perform short skits, design simple props and bring characters to life. With a focus on expression, storytelling and FUN, every child will have a chance to shine – whether they love being in the spotlight or are just beginning their acting journey. This workshop will be different from “Drama Boot Camp” so students may choose to participate in both to make a full day.
If a student is participating in both drama camps and would like to stay in between the two camps each day, they may sign up for lunch hour. Students should bring a sack lunch and a drink but will be supervised by Dr. Hoover. Alternatively, if someone from either of the two drama camps would like to stay an extra hour or come an hour early, and have lunch with the others, they could sign up for the lunch hour.
Registration for Captains, Castles and Capes is $85 and Lunch Hour is $20 per student. Complete registration for one or both or all three opportunities (including Drama Boot Camp) here.

Christian Academy of Louisville Middle School Textbook Return Process 2026 – Deadline May 28
Another year is “in the books!” Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in educating and loving your children. It is time to wrap up courses and that means the return of textbooks.
You and your student will begin receiving weekly informational emails from the Media Center. The emails will show all library books, fines (incurred during the year for copies, late books, lost books, etc.) and textbooks currently checked out to them. Use this email to make sure the barcodes we show checked out match the barcodes you have (located on the front cover of the book).
Textbooks are collected during the last week of school. Please remove all papers and book covers before returning. Your student’s teacher will schedule a time for Media Center staff to come check in all books.
Loss or Damage:
Students MUST return the textbook that was assigned at the beginning of the year. Any item checked out which is not turned in to the Media Center by May 28, will incur a non-refundable fee equaling the total of the item(s) not returned and fines not paid, even if the items are returned after this date. This fee will appear on FACTS and will trigger grades and transcripts to be held until the balance is paid.
If the textbook is damaged to the point that it cannot be used next year, (ripped pages, water damage, etc.) your FACTS account will be charged the replacement value of the textbook. We do not accept books purchased by you as we have special binding and rates with a vendor.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us collect all resources in a timely and smooth manner.
