KINGS ACADEMY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

What KINGS ACADEMY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL does

King's Academy Christian School (KACS) is a private, nonprofit K-12 Christian educational institution founded in 2003 and located at 7330 S. Broadway Ave in Tyler, Texas. The school operates the trademarked University-Model® educational approach, which blends traditional classroom instruction delivered on campus part-time with homeschool-directed instruction at home part-time, integrating a biblically-based, parentally-guided Christian faith with academic rigor. It serves families in Tyler and the surrounding East Texas region from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a stated mission to produce graduates who are "educationally prepared and morally grounded."

The school's core offering is its K-12 academic program, supplemented by an extensive athletics program (basketball, football, volleyball, baseball, swim, cross country, cheer, drill team) and ancillary services such as summer camps (e.g., Coach T's Basketball Camp) and a college advising partnership with Capstone Advising. Admissions are managed through the RenWeb (now FACTS) online platform, which also serves as the student information system and parent portal (ParentsWeb). Athletics participants who are not already enrolled must complete a separate athletic application, interview, and physical before registering, with tiered pricing favoring KACS students over external participants.

King's Academy generates revenue primarily through recurring tuition and financial aid-supported enrollment, supplemented by per-sport registration fees ($60-$400), suggested program donations ($30), summer camp tuition ($75), banquet tickets ($25), and athletic application fees ($97 for first-time non-KACS applicants, $27 for siblings). Distribution is entirely on-campus and in-person, with marketing conducted through the school's website (kacs.net), Facebook page (kacsknights), email communications, and athletic events. The school has 1-10 employees and operates as a single-campus institution with no disclosed multi-site expansion or institutional investor involvement.
