Anchor Christian Academy

Mission: Collaborate with parents to educate and biblically anchor students.

Vision: Graduate servant leaders who love God, His Word, and lifelong learning

History: Recognizing that parents are the primary influencers of their children, Anchor Christian Academy collaborates with parents to educate and biblically anchor students. Our goal is to graduate students who love God, His Word, and life-long learning. Our method includes a University Model® of education where students attend classes 3 days a week while working independently with a parent 2 days a week. Anchor Christian Academy was founded in 2017 with a grassroots group of 15 families and 32 students searching for a way to mix the best of homeschooling with the best parts of a Christian private school. With the Lord’s blessing and under the guidance of the National Association of University Model Schools (NAUMS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), the school has flourished. Now we serve 85 families with 116 students in grades 7-12. ACA is not associated with a specific denomination and currently enrolls students from 47 different churches! Christian Worldview. In April 2025, ACA successfully completed the NAUMS Certification self-study and site visit and is anticipating official recognition as a NAUMS certified school along with Cognia accreditation. Education is never neutral. It is more than the mere transmission of facts; it involves the communication of life principles and values and, therefore, requires a spiritual context. Because God created, sustains and will consummate all things through His Son, Jesus Christ, we believe that facts, whether mathematical, historical, scientific, or otherwise, can only represent truth if they are taught in the context of a Christian worldview. This belief will permeate our goals and objectives, our teaching methods and our curriculum.

Family Ministry

At Anchor Christian Academy, we affirm that parents are the child’s first and best teachers. Parents are the single most influential factor in a child’s educational performance, as well as in emotional, social, and spiritual development. Therefore, ACA seeks to assist parents in their God-given task to train their children in mind, body, and spirit (Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6:4). By providing time, flexibility, and academic expertise, we promote a partnership that enables parents to adequately fulfill the Lord’s commands for the education and training of children for His glory. ACA provides a support structure for parents through leadership and character development programs, as well as through seminars for parents to deepen their own understanding of academic subjects and the way in which faith shapes their worldview.

Growing Champions for Christ

This year, every gift will support the growth of Anchor’s athletics program.

At Anchor, athletics is about more than competition. It is a meaningful setting for student formation: where young people learn discipline, perseverance, self-control, teamwork, humility in both victory and defeat, and the responsibility of representing Christ well. Through sport, students are not merely informed about character; they are given daily opportunities to practice it under pressure.

We also seek to run athletics counter-culturally. Anchor schedules practices and games only four days each week, intentionally leaving space for students to participate in Wednesday youth groups, family life, church, schoolwork, and friendships. We want competitive teams and growing athletes, but we resist the pressure to turn middle and high school students into miniature professional athletes. Athletics should strengthen a student’s education, faith, family life, and formation—not consume them.

From new uniforms to improved gym facilities and expanded program opportunities, your support during Faithful Give will help provide the resources our athletes need to train, compete, and grow. These investments strengthen a program where students can pursue excellence, encourage teammates, honor opponents and officials, and represent Christ on the court, field, and course.

At Anchor Christian Academy, we are committed to growing an athletics program that reflects excellence and Christ-like character in competition.
