About KCA
Kentucky Christian Academy partners with parents to prepare students to advance the Kingdom of God.
Mission
The mission of Kentucky Christian Academy is to partner with parents to train students academically, spiritually, and physically in a loving, creative environment that prepares them to advance the Kingdom of God.
Vision
The vision of Kentucky Christian Academy is to equip young people with the faith, knowledge, and wisdom they need to advance the Kingdom of God.
Statement of faith
All members of the Board shall publicly affirm their full agreement with the following statement of faith:
We believe that the Bible (Scriptures)—the written Old and New Testaments—is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We recognize these Scriptures as the supreme and final standard for Christian education and all other matters of faith and life.
Some of the significant teachings of the Scriptures that we hold essential are:
Scriptural theme
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7
Theological position
KCA is an interdenominational school and, therefore, does not seek to advance any specific theological perspective. Its biblical position reflects what the greater evangelical community shares in common. Denominational distinctions are referred to the child’s parents and church.
Core values
Core values are KCA’s guiding principles that direct the school in fulfilling its mission. These essential and enduring tenets are not to be compromised for financial or short-term expediency. These values define who we are as an institution, how our resources are allocated, and are used in long-term planning for the health of our institution.
KCA values academic and leadership excellence and will continually develop and assess our curriculum to ensure that our students are empowered with the skills and tools necessary to fulfill their God-given potential.
2 Timothy 2:15; Colossians 3:17; Luke 6:40
KCA values salvation and discipleship. Children are taught the importance of having and maintaining a relationship with God by learning how to pray, study the Bible, worship, become good stewards, and serve others.
Philippians 4:8; Colossians 3:12–14; 2 Timothy 3:16
KCA values the biblical responsibility entrusted to parents to “train up” their child and is dedicated to partnering with families, churches, and the community in the educational process.
Deuteronomy 6:7; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:14
KCA values a faculty and staff who model and inspire excellence through their Christ-like example, intellectual curiosity, lifelong learning, and leadership.
Proverbs 1:2–3; Colossians 1:9–12, 28; Colossians 3:17
KCA values biblical stewardship. As stewards of the resources God has given us, KCA is responsible for using wisdom in the decisions made. With prayer for the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we have faith that our decisions regarding policies, procedures, and financial stewardship will honor the Lord’s will.

Mornings begin with lockers and greetings, and soon every classroom is quiet and working. Chapel is Thursday, when the whole school gathers to sing and pray. In the afternoon siblings find each other in the same hallway and walk out together — one building, one family at a time.
