The Lima Christian Fine Arts Academy is an extension of the Christian home and church in preparing young people for both time and eternity, that these young people might be "conformed to the image of His Son" (Rom.8:29).
A great strength of the LCFAA can be summarized in its being classified as a "non-chartered, non tax-supported school operated for truly held religious beliefs." While the LCFAA is aware of current state and societal educational expectations (and exceeds them), education primarily is assigned to the home (Eph.6:4) and church (I Tim.3:15), and not to the state or "Common Core" (Col.2:3).
Arts and Music Programs: Choir, Organ, Piano, Strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass), Trumpet

School Notes
Since 1970 Calvary Bible Church has sponsored Lima Christian
Academy with grades from Kindergarten through grade 12. God has
blessed us with well-qualified teachers who have been equipped to
challenge our young people to excellence in every area (Lk.2:52).
Since 1973 we have used an individualized curriculum in the upper
grades with a good degree of success. Our Kindergarten and first
grade use the Bob Jones Press curriculum in which the parents have
been pleased. The Iowa Achievement Test scores and the
American College Test scores are published annually and our
students score consistently above average.Our students keep
physically fit with our Physical Education and interscholastic
sports programs. We compete with other schools, mostly belonging to
our state`s Christian school association, the Buckeye Christian
School Organization (BCSO), in soccer, volleyball, basketball, and
the fine arts.We have a complete (and required) music curriculum
and speech training. We offer College Credit Plus classes! Our
academic offerings also include Science (through Physics),
Mathematics (through Algebra II), Social Studies (including
Economics), and English. Our students routinely have no difficulty
adjusting to college academic requirements.
