Arkansas Christian Academy accepts the responsibility of providing a quality Christian education to all students, both spiritually and academically.
Our goals are to support the home and to provide excellent facilities, equipment, and Godly instructors for the development of Christian character in the lives of the students entrusted to our care.
We believe that the heart of character training is obedience.
To obey, to do right, and to love God and our country are the qualities we want to instill in each student. It is our desire to minister to the whole child: spirit, soul, and body.
We endeavor to provide opportunities that will equip students to become strong Christian leaders who will serve the Lord in their vocation.
