Important Parent Opportunity – The Anxious Generation Townhall Meetings
Last spring a book was released that solidified some of the most important research affecting your child. The book is The Anxious Generation by social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt. The ripple effect of his reporting has been nothing short of monumental, and has sparked major changes in some school districts.
We need your input concerning how the research will affect Christian Academy and your child. Before Christmas break we hosted two first-ever parent town hall meetings to discuss how this might affect our Christian Academy culture. The parents in attendance encouraged us to offer more opportunities so that more of you could weigh in. Please look at the following options and sign up to attend! There are limited spots for each.
What topics does the research hit on? Mental health, smart phones, social media, and how our kids play. It affects our kid’s social, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing – and it affects us too! You do not have to have read the book to attend!
We promise to be concise and begin & end on time. Here are the upcoming dates. Click on the date to sign up:
January 23, 2025 at Christian Academy of Louisville
January 30, 2025 at Christian Academy of Indiana
February 25, 2025 at Christian Academy of Louisville
March 3, 2025 at Christian Academy of Indiana
All meetings will be in the High School/Upper School Media Center and begin at 7:00 pm and will conclude by 8:30 pm., but there are limited spots for each meeting.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to me – Becky Wiley, Director of Spiritual Formation, at bwiley@caschools.us – with any questions. I encourage you to make this a priority. Looking forward to seeing you!

Announcing Christian Academy’s 2nd Annual “Tables of Brotherhood” Lunches
The week of January 20, Christian Academy will be holding its 2nd Annual “Tables of Brotherhood” lunches. These lunches will be held at CAL (Tuesday, January 21) and CAI (Thursday, January 23) for high school and middle school girls and guys. The title of these lunches was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspiring quote from his August 28, 1963 speech where he shared his dream for people of all racial and gender backgrounds to be able to sit down at “tables of brotherhood” (i.e. enjoying impartial fellowship/unity).
During these lunches, we will be engaging in conversations about some of the commonalities God has blessed us with and how these commonalities can assist us in our pursuit of Biblical Unity at Christian Academy. Salsarita’s will be served at CAL’s ToB lunches and Qdoba will be served at CAI’s ToB lunches. Middle school and high school lunches will cost $5 per participant. We will be opening 25 spots for each of these lunches. Signups and payments can be made in school offices until all the spots are filled. We look forward to Christian Academy students and employees coming to these tables together.
Please watch our Tables of Brotherhood announcement YouTube video:

Christian Academy Continuous Enrollment for the 2025-2026 School Year
Happy New Year Christian Academy families! We have much to be thankful for this year, from the celebration of Christ’s birth, the start of a new year and the gift of partnership with your family through the Christian education of your children.
Our school system offers Continuous Enrollment to all of our current students with the exception of our current Junior Academy 4-year-olds. Your child will remain enrolled until graduation if they are a current K-11 student. Also, your child will remain enrolled for the Junior Academy 4-year-old program if they are a current Junior Academy 3-year-old. Current Junior Academy 4-year-old students will need to apply for kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year in order to continue enrollment.
Please click here for FAQs about Continuous Enrollment. You may visit the Christian Academy website to view the 2025-2026 Tuition Schedules and/or to learn more about Tuition Assistance.
The only action you need to take is if you choose to withdraw your child’s enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year. If you choose to withdraw you will need to complete the Withdrawal Form that is located in your Web Forms in FACTS Family Portal. If completed by the withdrawal date, the Business Office will not charge the Continuous Enrollment Fee to your account and will terminate your Continuous Enrollment Agreement at the end of the 2024-2025 school year. If you withdraw and at some point wish to return you will need to contact our Admissions Office to see if space is available and for next steps.
The Continuous Enrollment withdrawal deadline for the 2025-2026 school year is January 15, 2025. After this date, the Business Office will begin finalizing your 2025-2026 FACTS Tuition Agreement. (Monthly payers will be assessed the $50 FACTS Enrollment Fee.)
All returning families will be charged the non-refundable Continuous Enrollment Fee (per student) which will be automatically deducted through FACTS on February 28, 2025 in addition to any regularly scheduled payments.
Should you have financial questions, please contact the Business Office at (502) 244-3225 or enrollment@caschools.us.
As we look to a new year our deepest hope is to develop your child’s heart for God and help them grow in wisdom, stature and in favor with God and men. We thank you for your trust and continued partnership as we work diligently to ensure every child at Christian Academy is supported unconditionally in a grace-filled environment and develops according to God’s will to impact the world for His glory and Kingdom.
