Christ Presbyterian Academy was established in 1985 as a ministry of Christ Presbyterian Church for the education of the covenant children of Christ Presbyterian Church and, space permitting, those of other believers who would desire to educate them at the Academy. It began with a faculty and staff of 11 and with 124 children in grades K-6. The Academy doubled in size the next year and has experienced continued growth, adding grades and classes to develop a comprehensive preschool-12 program. Current enrollment is approaching 1,100, with a faculty and staff of more than 150.
