Re-enrollment for 2021-2022 is still open!
Enrollment is open and we are thankful for so many families that have already sent in paperwork to enroll for next year. You can still enroll and tell friends! We will also be continuing to offer individualized visits to new prospective families. The best advertisement for the school is word of mouth, so we ask that you pass this information on to friends and family that may be interested in a Christian Life Academy education! And, of course, get your family registered for next year….
CLA 8th grade and High School Graduation
Graduation will be held on Thursday, May 20th in two separate ceremonies. 8th grade graduation will begin at 5:30pm at Living Hope Community Church. Due to COVID limitations, each 8th grade graduate will be given 7 tickets for family/friends. If you have extra tickets that you don’t need (or if you need more than 7 tickets!), please contact Mrs. Westley in the office.
CLA’s first high school graduation will take place at 7:00pm at Living Hope Community Church. If you wish to attend the high school graduation, please RSVP with the number of seats to Mrs. Stribling at [email protected].
Standardized testing
Coming up in the first week of May, CLA will be administering standardized tests for our students, as we look at the overall progress as it relates to our classrooms, the effect of remote learning, and so many other factors. We ask that families and students take this testing seriously, but also remember that a test never defines a student, but allows staff to teach effectively! We also use the results to help plan content for classrooms. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk with the staff leader for your child’s age group - Mrs. Bowman (K-4), Mrs. Young (5-8), Mrs. Stribling (9-12) or Mr. Horning.

From The Principal’s Desk…
In our “Follow Jesus” theme, this week we began discussing what it means to “pick up our cross.” The decision to follow Jesus has many implications. One of them is that we know there will be challenges, possible problems, and difficult times. But choosing to follow Jesus, and pick up the cross he asks us to carry, also has a wonderful reward! It is exciting to explore this idea together. Thank you for your partnership with our school community!
In Christ,
- Mr. Horning
