About

Christ Presbyterian Academy was established for Christian education in 1985 as a ministry of Christ Presbyterian Church for the education of the covenant children of Christ Presbyterian Church and, space permitting, those of other believers who would desire to educate them at the academy. It began with a faculty and staff of 11 and with 124 children in grades K-6. The academy doubled in size the next year, and has experienced continued growth, adding grades and classes to develop a comprehensive preschool-12 program. Current enrollment is just over 1,200, with a faculty and staff of over 200.^{[citation needed]}
