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.
