CAL Elementary New Families, Join us for Popsicles!

Christian Academy School System Popsicles on the Playground New Family Events 2025

Happy summertime! We are already preparing for your children to enter the 2026-2027 school year as successful little Christian Academy Centurions! One of the ways we want to do that is by allowing you and your child the opportunity to acclimate to their new campus. So, if you are brand new to CAL elementary or entering kindergarten, we consider you “NEW!” And that means, you’re invited to our summertime Popsicles on the Playground! Here’s what you need to know:

At each of these events, we’ll be there to welcome you right inside the playground gate. For parking, enter campus at the main drive, which leads to the flagpole. You will notice there is parking on your left and on your right. You will want to park in the left parking lot, which is the visitor lot. Let’s practice doing this correctly! Please follow the circle around the flagpole and then enter the lot, which will now be on your right and pick a parking spot! From there, you will walk down the grassy hill to the playground.

We have multiple dates, some in the morning and one in the evening, for varying age groups. Please click here to view those dates and RSVP. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Kate Griffiths, Family Relations Coordinator, at [email protected]!

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 EngineeringSchool 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.

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.
