About
Founded on biblical principles
A Pre-K through 12th grade school in Addis, Louisiana, developing each child spiritually, intellectually, morally, and physically.
Observe. Think. Speak.
The Christian Academy of Louisiana is founded on biblical principles and endeavors to apply those principles to the development of each child spiritually, intellectually, morally, and physically.
01
Observe
Look closely at the world, and at the God who made it.
02
Think
Weigh what you find, carefully and for yourself.
03
Speak
Say it in a manner that glorifies God.
Core values
We aim to be a school where —
02
Safety is emphasized
Physical and emotional safety for staff and students is a precondition for everything else, not an afterthought.
03
Intellect is pursued
Academic rigor is a priority. Students are expected to think, not merely to recall.
04
Learning is enjoyable
The teaching and learning atmosphere is meant to be one students and teachers actually want to be in.
On discipline
Discipline here aims to shape behavior and foster personal responsibility rather than to punish. The goal is self-discipline and internal motivation — students internalizing the standard rather than performing to avoid a consequence.
Observe. Think. Speak.
What we believe
School Policies
A biblical worldview, in every subject
Our statement of faith is not a preamble we file away — it shapes the curriculum, the discipline, and the way teachers speak to students.
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man.
Faculty & staff
The people who know your student by name
A small school means the athletic director teaches Bible and most of the staff wear more than one hat. Nobody here is purely administrative.
