Final Spring Open House is TONIGHT 4-8 pm

While tonight is the final spring open house, we are glad to arrange individual visits. If you know a family that would like to know more about what CLA offers, please have them contact the school, or even bring them to visit yourself! The best advertisement is word of mouth… so share your experience with others!

2025-2026 Registration and Enrollment information! 

Enrollment for the new school year is open! We have a new process where our full-time academic families can enroll and re-enroll online through the Gradelink “EnrollMe” feature on our SIS. We encourage early enrollment (by March 31 with a discounted registration fee). It greatly helps us to plan for 2025-2026.  Families that are participating in extracurricular activities only, you may use the re-enrollment link sent previously. Any questions, please contact Mr. Horning ([email protected]).

Girls Softball Clinic days coming up in April! 

To explore the possibilities of girls softball at CLA, a series of clinics will be held in April. They will be after school on April 2, 9, 16 and 22 on ball diamond #1 (located directly behind the CLA grade school building). This is for players in grades 5-12, with any level of experience! There is no cost, but an option to purchase a t-shirt is available.

From the Principal's Desk

Beautiful Weather!! This week has been an exciting one, as (finally) the weather has turned beautiful and the kids are outside playing during recess.  It won’t be long until we see green start to show up again, a reminder that “for everything there is a season.” Springtime coming means many things, but new growth, green grass, flowers (and rain) are to be expected.  I’m thankful that we can count on the beauty of creation to remind us of God’s unending and unchanging love.


“I have no greater joy than to know that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 4
