Invite someone to visit Christian Life Academy…
While we do not have any more scheduled open house events, you are always encouraged to share your CLA experience with others and to invite them to visit. Mr. Horning and other staff are always glad to host friends or family. Share the word!
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 April 10 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]).
Faith & Sports…Doing Sports God’s Way…Read about it in a research paper!
Recently, I (Mr. Horning) completed a lengthy paper about the integration of faith and discipleship in athletics, with some academic and personal/local research. It has a focus on what we are trying to do (by God’s guidance) at CLA as well as some ways we’d like to continue integration into PE classes. If you have any interest in reading this paper, let me know! I’d be glad to share it with you!

From the Principal's Desk
Share your (our) Faith! In a few weeks we will gather together for an Easter Service on Thursday, April 17. It is an exciting time to gather in worship of our Lord and Savior and recognize the sacrifice of Jesus for us. It is something I look forward to each year - the corporate times of worship together with all of you. This year we’ll gather in the school gymnasium for this service. Often this gym is used to cheer on the court - as we often worship the Lord through the games played on that hardwood surface. But this time, we’ll do it through song, scripture and participation. We’ll share our faith together! Invite a friend. Bring your family! What a great opportunity we have to gather. How else are you sharing your faith as a part of your daily lives? I’d love to hear about it!
“I have no greater joy than to know that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 4
