CAI Junior Academy, Come for Popsicles on the Playground!
Happy summertime! We are already preparing for your children to enter the 2025-2026 school year as successful little Christian Academy Warriors! One of the ways we want to do that is by allowing you and your child the opportunity to acclimate to the Junior Academy. That means you’re invited to our summertime Popsicles on the Playground! Here’s what you need to know:
Date– Thursday, July 10
Time– 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. (to avoid the heat!)
Place– CAI Junior Academy Playground
The playground is accessed only once inside the building. We’ll be there to welcome you right inside the elementary school entrance. For parking, let’s get some “official” practice on how to enter and exit the campus.
As you arrive on campus, if you are entering off Grant Line Road, simply continue up the drive. You will see the elementary school on your left but do not turn in. You will drive all the way around the entire building, past all the construction for the new middle school on your left, past the back of the school where there is the large “commons” lot, up the drive with the high school entrance on your left and finally arriving at the elementary school. Please pull over to the right into the elementary lot and park. If you are arriving on campus through the “new” entrance, be sure to turn right and drive past the high school entrance on your left and pull over into parking across from the elementary entrance. Please enter the elementary school doors where we will be waiting for you. Once we are through the check-in process, we will have a little fun on the Junior Academy playground!
You will need:
- To RSVP Here
- To bring your Driver’s License. This will be run through our security system and allow you to visit inside the school building all year without needing to submit it again.
- To bring a water bottle for your child (and yourself if you’d like!). There is also a water fountain on the playground.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Aimee Games at [email protected]! We can’t wait to meet you!

CAI Kindergarten and New Elementary, You’re invited!
Happy summertime! We are already preparing for your children to enter the 2025-2026 school year as successful little Christian Academy Warriors! 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 CAI 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 elementary playground gate. For parking, let’s get some “official” practice on how to enter and exit the campus.
As you arrive on campus, if you are entering off Grant Line Road, simply continue up the drive. You will see the elementary school on your left but do not turn in. You will drive all the way around the entire building, past all the construction for the new middle school on your left, past the back of the school where there is the large “commons” lot, up the drive with the high school entrance on your left and finally arriving at the elementary school. Please pull over to the right into the elementary lot and park. If you are arriving on campus through the “new” entrance, be sure to turn right and drive past the high school entrance on your left and pull over into parking across from the elementary entrance. To get to the playground, follow the sidewalk lined with PINWHEELS and you won’t miss us!
We have multiple dates, some in the morning and some in the evening for varying age groups. Please click here to view those dates and RSVP.

Journey to Biblical Unity Summer Field Trip for 2025-2026 Rising High Schoolers
On Wednesday, June 18, I will be leading our inaugural Journey to Biblical Unity Field Trip to Lexington/Louisville, Kentucky. This is a joint CAI and CAL field trip for RISING high schoolers (2025-2026, 9th-12th graders). We are opening up 12 spots from your high school to join us on this approximately 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. field trip. The field trip cost is $15 (paid online). You need to fill out a paper form and return it to your school office, before the end of the school year as well. You will also need to bring money for lunch at Chick-fil-A.
During this trip, CAI and CAL students and employees will go on a journey – observing landmarks that acknowledge some of America’s most divisive eras (barriers to biblical unity that once existed). Then, we will celebrate the fact that God has broken down many barriers and has blessed Christians with the freedom to pursue biblical unity in the present. After visiting and storytelling at various historic statue locations in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, I have invited representatives from Portland Christian School (Louisville, Kentucky), other local Christian schools and a few leaders from Highview Baptist Church’s Southside Campus (Louisville, Kentucky) to join us in a powerful united prayer meeting. We are going to pray for God to initiate, empower and sustain an unprecedented movement of Christian unity in America, in our local Christian schools and in our local churches.
Would your rising high school student like to join us? If so, please go to your school office to pick up a field trip form. Ask your parent/guardian to fill out the field trip form and make your $15 online field trip payment (to CAI or CAL). Then, you can turn your completed field trip form into your school office, at your earliest convenience. First come, first served.
