Overview
Life A-New Preparatory Academy offers a full service daycare and school which teaches children academics and the way of God.
Wholesome and delicious meals are provided for the students. We provide breakfast, lunch and snacks.
The Academy accepts children ages 6 weeks to 5th grade from 6am to 6pm.
Before and after school care is also available. Our primary mission is to support families by providing childcare in a safe and healthy Christian environment, and offer an education that promotes the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of each child.
Life A-New Preparatory Academy understands that the most critical time for a child's learning begins during the early childhood years.
Many families seek to provide home-based learning to the children during these years; most are met with economic challenges that preclude such a structure.
Many are forced to work outside of the home and must find adequate care for their children as a result.
Serving 1300 students from 195 area churches, Summit Christian Academy serves preschool through 12th grade students.
SCA is fully-accredited and provides college-preparatory academics and a full range of extracurricular activities.
Founded as an independent Christian school, SCA staff and teachers strive to inspire students to discover and achieve their God-given potential.
The vision statement of SCA is to be the school of choice for parents who desire excellence.
