Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
The Trying Years:
"We often tell students that middle school is for trying," says Principal Lynette Fowler. "We want students to discover new talents and try different extracurricular activities within our school. We want to encourage our students to be well-rounded and use all their gifts for our Savior's glory."
Pair our love for Jesus with our emphasis on high-quality education and students receive a valuable experience. Our curriculum focuses on hands-on learning; training students to think abstractly and providing experiences that will prepare students for high school.
Our middle school teachers are experienced with 67% having advanced degrees and a total of 241 years of service. Our faculty are aware of the challenges facing our teens today. They work diligently to guide and support our young people with a Christ-centered perspective during the challenging adolescent years.
Well-Rounded Students:
CAK offers a variety of ways for students to become involved. Not only do we offer a high-quality education, but we guide students spiritually, athletically, and with meaningful activities.
Hands-on Academics
With small class sizes, hands-on learning is something our students experience on a regular basis. Whether it’s learning about military practices during the Civil War or how to mummify a chicken, like in ancient Egypt, our students have fun while learning. A biblical perspective is integrated into each subject area.

Spiritual Life
One unique thing about CAK is that we have many denominations represented on our campus, and it was intentionally set up this way by our founders. We are an independent campus of believers, all coming together to learn about Christ's teachings. Our students experience a vibrant chapel experience each week with guest speakers who challenge them to live out what it means to be a follower of Christ.
