Christian Academy School System

What Christian Academy School System does

Christian Academy School System is a private, non-profit Christian K-12 institution operating two anchor campuses — Christian Academy of Louisville (CAL) at the English Station campus in Louisville, Kentucky, and Christian Academy of Indiana (CAI) in New Albany, Indiana — along with Providence School, an integrated program for children with Down syndrome housed within CAL. Founded in 1977 and serving approximately 3,200 Pre K-12 students, the system delivers a college-preparatory curriculum with 19 AP and 24 honors courses, four Diplomas of Distinction (Biomedical Science under the Project Lead the Way curriculum, Engineering, Arts, Spiritual Formation), and a robust athletics program with 150 teams across both campuses.

The system generates revenue primarily through recurring tuition with monthly billing via FACTS, supplemented by summer camps open to non-enrolled families, the ALL IN! Annual Fund, a capital campaign (including the $9 million CAI middle school project), and a Gala with live and silent auctions. More than 50% of students receive tuition assistance, and the ecosystem of 460 partner churches underpins admissions, governance, and donor support. Customer acquisition is predominantly sales- and event-driven: campus tours, shadow days, open houses, Popsicles on the Playground new-family events, admissions coordinators, and targeted digital outreach.

The technology foundation is standard EdTech rather than proprietary: FACTS for enrollment/SIS/payments, Canvas for LMS, ClassLink for SSO, Follett Destiny for library management, MyPaymentsPlus for fees, Renaissance Learning for reading assessment, Google Workspace for communication, and ServiceReef for mission trip logistics. The system has been actively scaling capacity — a $5 million Junior Academy building opened at CAL in 2024 and a $9 million, 44,000-square-foot middle school facility opened at CAI in March 2026 — alongside a leadership restructuring that created a dedicated CAI middle school principal. CAI enrollment roughly doubled from approximately 700 pre-COVID to over 1,300 students, and Providence School and the biomedical/engineering programs serve as rare regional differentiators.
