Yes on Amendment 2

We, as a school system, are in support of a constitutional amendment that would enable our Kentucky Legislative and Executive branches to discuss educational choice in Kentucky.

Christian Academy is in favor of “Yes on 2.” 

On November 5, 2024, Kentuckians will have the opportunity to vote Yes on Amendment 2, Kentucky’s Education Opportunities Constitutional Amendment, which aims to provide more educational opportunities for families of kindergarten-12th grade students. This amendment prioritizes students and empowers parents to make the best educational choices for each of their children. Additionally, it ensures the protection of Kentucky’s public school funding and structure. 

Our school system is unique in that we have campuses in both Kentucky and Indiana. We can testify how the school choice systems in Indiana directly benefit our families in attending CAI. We hope that Kentucky families will also have the chance for the Kentucky legislature to implement some form of school choice in the future. Voting yes to Amendment 2 would enable them to do so. Polls consistently show that 72% of Kentucky families want school choice, but we must vote! 

We created a website that provides detailed information about the benefits of voting Yes on Amendment 2 and answers to frequently asked questions. As a community, we ask that you share this website and encourage others to vote yes on Amendment 2 this November. 

Yes On Amendment 2 

Ms. Gross and Ms. Passafiume are ALL IN!

We are incredibly proud of all of our exceptional teachers and, over the next several weeks, we are excited to showcase those chosen by their peers as this year’s ALL IN Outstanding Teacher award winners!

These dedicated educators from across the entire Christian Academy School System have gone above and beyond in their commitment to excellence and in making a positive impact on our students’ lives.

We invite you to join us in celebrating their achievements by making a special gift to support Christian Academy School System, ensuring that our Christ-centered education continues to thrive.

This week, we recognize –

Sarah Gross
Sarah always goes above and beyond for her students and for our school. She cares about each student and their academic, spiritual and emotional needs. Her theme is “You can do hard things!” and doesn’t let the students settle for anything less.

 

as well as – 

Tracy Passafiume
Tracy exemplifies what it means to be a dynamic, Christian educator. Her professionalism, love for the Lord, longevity at CAL and reflection of the school’s mission is truly exemplary. I nominate her without reservation.

 

Congratulations to both Ms. Gross and Ms. Passafiume!

To support these and all of our exceptional teachers, simply use this link to give online.

Thank you and God bless you and our school!

Election Season Devotional #2

Christian Academy Statement: As we enter into another election season, we want to remind our school community that the Christian Academy School System is partisan only to the Bible and our shared Biblical and Foundational Statements. We support each person’s right to vote as led by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. In keeping with our school, parent and employee partnership commitment, we have agreed to treat our neighbors with respect and honor, as fellow image bearers of God, including engaging in responsible discourse. Christian Academy is firmly dedicated to promoting unity rather than divisiveness in all aspects, including politics.

With this statement in mind, I would like to introduce the second of four devotional thoughts on how we, as Christians, can positively affect our community. Recently, I was introduced to the term “responsible discourse.” How can we share thoughts and ideas and even have conversations when we disagree? As always, the Bible has the answer.

Mr. Bryce Hibbard, Head of Schools, (bhibbard@caschools.us) shares his thoughts and reflections on the power of words. How do we have responsible discourse without fear of hurting the Gospel message?

​With this statement in mind, I would like to introduce the first of four devotional thoughts on how we, as Christians, can positively affect our community. If we are feeling stress, anxiety or even doubt in our national political season maybe these biblical reflections can grant us peace. 

Mr. Deon Parker, Director of Biblical Unity, (dparker@caschools.us) poses some very good questions and reminders in our first devotion. What does the Bible say about national leaders and how we should view them?
