ALL IN Kickoff – Mr. Phillippe is ALL IN!
We are excited, once again, to kickoff our ALL IN Annual Fund campaign for the 2022-2023 school year. Tuition and fees simply do not cover the entire cost to educate our students. Our Annual Fund campaign raises funds to close our budget gap. Join us in making a gift to Christian Academy School System.
We are so proud of our incredible teachers and for the next few weeks we will feature each of our Outstanding ALL IN teacher winners from across the system.
Here is one example:
Troy Phillippe
Troy has a heart for God and a passion for the school. He builds tremendous relationships with students in and out of class. He leads student Bible studies and loves to share about God with the students he teaches each day. Troy wants to see the school grow and flourish, and he eagerly engages in opportunities to have a voice in its direction. This can be seen in his recent participation in developing the HEART framework that high school is using to help students be restored to good standing before heart issues become major problems. He also serves as a class sponsor and the NHS faculty advisor. In his eight years at Christian Academy, he has certainly contributed to its growth and development.

Thank you and God bless you and our school!

Change the World for Christ Week – September 19-23
The week of September 19-23, Christian Academy Southwest will be celebrating the nations through Change the World for Christ. During this week teachers, staff and students will have their attention focused on the nations and the Savior of those nations. To be mindful of each nation students will be enlightened to specific needs each country is currently experiencing when it comes to the spread of the gospel (i.e. missionaries) and establishment of churches (i.e. Christians). During this week of celebration, students will be asked to wear a specific color each day during the week of September 19. For students to dress out they will need to donate $1 (The donations raised will still go to the Jackson family, who are missionaries in Asia). Students may also wear blue jeans, uniform shorts/pants and/or accessories (e.g. bracelets, scrunchies, hair bows, socks, etc…) that represent the country and/or match the color of the day.
- Monday (September 19): Ukraine (class color = Blue and/or Yellow )
- Tuesday (September 20): North Korea (class color = Red )
- Wednesday (September 21): Mexico: (class color = Orange )
- Thursday (September 22): Russia (class color = Blue )
- Friday (September 23): Ireland (class color = Green )
We invite you all to join Christian Academy Southwest during our week of Change the World for Christ. We ask that you pray for the many missionaries serving in these countries, for the Christians in these countries that they would be faithful to proclaim the gospel, for the governments of these nations that they would cease their hostility toward Christ, and for the people of these nations that their hearts would be providentially opened to respond to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Finally, pray for us and our students that we may be filled with missionary zeal for the lost and the only Savior given amongst men by which the lost may be saved.
Important Reminders:
- Check the Family Handbook for Dress Code policies.
- Clothing that is see-through, tight fitting, midriff, low-cut or high slit garments are not allowed.
- All outfits must be gender appropriate.

Christian Academy Parent Feedback
Raising children in 2022 is not for the faint of heart! We often see the challenges here at school too. As such, we spend a lot of time and resources training teachers on a wide variety of cultural issues and looking at them through a biblical lens. We take our partnership with your family very seriously, which is why we would like to offer some of these trainings to you. While we don’t have all the answers, we know quite a few professionals that can help. In order to provide the best information for you, we need to hear what you most need. Please complete this short survey – it only takes 2 minutes! And be on the lookout for upcoming parent communications about the results and trainings.
