What Is Christian Academy?
Christian Academy was founded in 1984 by Christian Outreach Center (Now LifeHouse Church) to serve families in East TN with a quality and affordable Christian education. The school has hundreds of graduates leading industries and careers across the U.S. and the world. As a ministry of LifeHouse Church we endeavor to assist families in obtaining a quality diploma and preparing students for college studies with a Christian world view.

Ten Reasons for CAOR
Has stood the test of time and has been used by all Christian faiths.
No re-written history and no indoctrination of alternative lifestyles or political agendas at this academy.
The parents sets the study time. Great for special needs students and for those who work, travel, are pursuing professional interests such as semi-pro competitive sports, or professional and business opportunities.
You are not contrasted by a classroom. Studies can be accomplished at home, business, parents’ work, while traveling, etc. You know where your student is and is not.

We recognize individual needs. For gifted students that excel and for students that need time to master the material. This program works well for students with special needs, and Zero-Tolerance disciplined. We have no age limit. Adults can earn a diploma without the stigmas of a GED.
We provide testing of place each student at the right academic level. This provides the best learning opportunities for both the gifted achievers, and for the learning challenged.
Curriculum teaches, parents/caregivers give support, we oversee and coach. Students who Excel Beyond Just Academics – Our students are not constrained by the traditional physical school building and daily routine. Studies can be accomplished on-the-go. These students include semi-pro athletes, high achievers, business entrepreneurs, etc.
We never give D or F grades. The student studies until he or she masters the subject and earns an A, B, or C. We believe the purpose of a school is to train students for success, and to encourage students to be “Driven” – to create an ethic to work until the job (grade) is done.
