C.S. Lewis Academy

What C.S. Lewis Academy does

C.S. Lewis Academy (CSLA) is a private, nonprofit K-12 Christian school located in Newberg, Oregon, serving families in Yamhill County and surrounding Oregon communities. The school offers a continuous educational program from kindergarten through 12th grade, organized into four academic divisions (Kindergarten, Elementary K-5, Middle School 6-8, High School 9-12) with a capped class size of 13 students. Instructional content integrates a Christian worldview across all subjects and is complemented by structured programs in athletics (e.g., 6-man football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, track & field, trapshooting), fine arts, leadership development, and spiritual life, including weekly chapels, worship arts, and mission trips. The school also operates the Watchmen Sports Summer Camps, an annually recurring fundraiser ("CSLA Havana Nights"), and a College Guidance program.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition billed per student ($6,180 for K-5, $7,225 for grades 6-8, $7,800 for grades 9-12), supplemented by a $50 non-refundable application fee, $75 per credit hour dual/direct credit fees paid to George Fox University, summer camp fees, and donations. The go-to-market motion is sales-led via structured admissions — campus tours, shadow days, family interviews, and an online application — supported by Open House events, an active blog/website, Facebook community engagement, and parent referrals. The school employs 91 staff, operates from a single campus at 1605 N. College St., Newberg, and is governed by a School Board with no disclosed parent company, private equity ownership, or holding entity. There is no AI or proprietary technology platform; the core delivery model is in-person education with a faith-based, community-driven value proposition.
