Priority Admission for Siblings of Currently Enrolled Students for the 2020-2021 School Year
We are honored that you are a part of the Christian Academy family and we want to continue to serve your family well. Your currently enrolled students will receive instructions regarding reenrollment for the 2020-2021 school year in early January 2020. Additionally, we would like to remind you that if you have a child in your family that is not currently enrolled and will be a new incoming student at Christian Academy for the 2020-2021 school year please submit an online 2020-2021 application as soon as possible. It is always our desire to give siblings of current students priority consideration and now is the time to submit your application for the upcoming school year. If you have already submitted an application, we are thankful you desire to continue our partnership! Also, if your child is currently in our Junior Academy PK4, it is time to submit an application for kindergarten.
Admissions testing for new students who have applied to enter grades 6-12 for the 2020-2021 school year is currently being scheduled. Upon receiving your application, we will contact you to confirm a testing date for your child. Admissions testing for students who have applied to enter kindergarten and grades 1–5 for the 2020-2021 school year will be in January. There will be an additional admissions testing date for students entering grades 6-12 in January as well. We will send scheduling information for January admissions testing dates in early January. Admissions testing is not required to enter our Junior Academy.
We are thankful to already have many new applications on file for the 2020-2021 school year, so it is important for you to move forward with submitting your application if you have a child in your family that is not currently enrolled and attending Christian Academy. You will find application information on our website at caschools.us/application-process.
Thank you for making Christian Academy your school of choice and for entrusting your children to us. Should questions arise, please contact me by email at [email protected] or phone at (502) 753-4590. It would be my pleasure to serve you.
May you experience the joy and blessing of the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons in a meaningful way!

Can we Share the Truth about Scholarship Tax Credits?
 |
|
A lot of opinion has been shared about the proposed KY legislation that would allow Scholarship Tax Credits. This program allows individuals and businesses to donate to a fund to help financially limited families afford the school that is best for their children’s needs. It does not take revenue away from public schools and it does not support the wealthy. Charles Leis, president of EdChoiceKY, shares the truth behind this needed legislation in this video. |

Operation Christmas Child Service Project
We have kicked off our second quarter service project! We will be packing and collecting shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child! Your child should have received a brochure with instructions and details for how to pack a shoebox gift. The deadline to turn in these gifts is Thursday, November 21, as part of National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for a special combined chapel service that day from 9-10 a.m. in our school gym. We will learn more about this ministry and hopefully share the specific countries where our shoebox gifts will be sent.
Last year, our Southwest Campus gave 410 shoebox gifts to this ministry and helped to share the Gospel in 10 different countries! Our goal this year is 350 SHOEBOX GIFTS! Our students have already shown so much excitement about this project and we can’t wait to see how the Lord will work through our efforts.
PLEASE NOTE – Every child who donates a shoebox gift will have their name put in a drawing for a free ticket to Newport Aquarium! We will draw winners from junior academy (preschool), elementary and middle school. The number of entries for a child’s name will equal the number of shoeboxes that the child turns in (ex. 3 shoebox gifts equals 3 times entered in the drawing).
If you have any questions about what can or cannot be included in your shoebox gift, please contact Shannon Wilson at [email protected].
