Our Philosophy
Christ Fellowship Academy has been established for over 40 years and the one thing we have heard repeatedly is that this is a “special place… a school like no other.” It is a school where you have teachers that genuinely care, administrators that hear your concerns, and an environment that is safe and nurturing where continual growth is taking place. We are committed to educate the whole child spiritually, physically, and academically. We offer a curriculum that provides a biblical worldview with academic rigor. Our goal is to provide an excellent education that fosters a collaborative, technology-rich learning program that is spiritually focused to build character in our students so they may be equipped and prepared for the future.
We offer a hands-on learning approach that promotes critical thinking skills. In addition, our students are engaged in STEM (integrating science, technology, engineering, and math) projects in order to explore and problem solve, while maintaining strong foundational skills.
Program Specifics
Our 1st – 3rd grade program provides a comprehensive education. Children are exposed to two world renowned Christian curriculums. They learn arithmetic, spelling, phonics and writing instruction, Bible, Reading, Science and Social Studies. Cursive writing is introduced at the end of 1st grade. In addition, they engage in a variety of hands on activities, reading groups, centers and projects – all in efforts to compliment the curriculum and offer the best possible Christian educational experience. Teachers use the STAR Test along with other assessment tools in order to assess and develop skills in fluency, accuracy and comprehension.

In addition to the curriculum and activities followed in the classroom, these enrichment classes are included in the program.
