Grades Offered

Christian Life Academy is now accepting enrollments for Kindergarten through 6th grade for the 2025 academic year!
Kindergarten - 6th Grade
Kindergarten through 6th grade classes will be conducted in a combined classroom setting, utilizing a traditional teaching approach to ensure small class sizes and personalized attention. To foster a strong foundation and an early love for reading, we will implement the Abeka curriculum, delivered by highly trained Abeka educators.

In addition to core academics, we are excited to offer a variety of electives in music and the arts, allowing students to explore their creative talents. Regular chapel sessions will also be hosted, providing opportunities for spiritual growth, discipleship, and the development of meaningful practices to strengthen their daily walk with God.
