Introducing ParentPulse
At Christian Academy, we seek to constantly evaluate our schools from multiple perspectives, all to make this an even better place for your child and your family. As a reminder, the first initiative in our Strategic Plan is to build authentic two-way communication with all our stakeholders. Because the parent perspective is so important to us, we’ve partnered with ParentPulse, a company that specializes in collecting feedback for Christian schools.
Beginning in September, each parent/guardian in our schools will receive an invitation every few months to respond to a short survey. These surveys will be staggered – parents will receive the invitations via email or text at different times.
We simply ask that you take five minutes to complete the survey. Many schools only send one (longer) survey each year but we want to capture your thoughts and feelings in shorter surveys – and at multiple points over the year – so we can understand how things are evolving and how we can best adapt!
So, please be on the lookout for an email or text from ParentPulse. The subject line will identify Christian Academy.
The information you provide is collected solely for our analysis and your personal contact information will not be used or shared by ParentPulse. At the end of the survey, there is also an option to submit your responses anonymously.
Thank you for choosing Christian Academy to partner with for your child’s Christian education!

We encourage all Christian Academy students and parents to subscribe to this channel. Suggested videos and comments will be turned off when your students view this page through their Christian Academy email addresses.
We would also like to remind you that we have a Biblical Unity at Christian Academy webpage and Facebook page.
This school year’s Biblical Unity-themed shirts, “Love Leads To Unity,” will be for sale (in English and Spanish) soon.
We look forward to the start of our high school and middle school lunchtime “We Unify” groups in late August and early September. All high school and middle school students are welcome to attend!
We also look forward to several high school students participating in our joint (students from CAI and CAL) field trips to Cincinnati, Ohio and several 8th graders participating in our field trips to Berea, Kentucky in October. And of course, we have some special unifying activities planned for our entire school system in 2025!
It is going to be a great school year! Thank you all for your partnership in our school system-wide pursuit of Biblical unity at Christian Academy!
