Frequently Asked Questions
Aren’t there already some great high schools in Saint Louis? Why start a new one?
Great question. Yes, Saint Louis has great high schools throughout the Metro area. However, if a city family is looking for a Christian high school, they are often needing to either drive several miles or pay a substantial tuition cost, or, most often, both. Many families already send their children to high-quality Christian K-8 programs in the city and then have to go to the county for high school. We see a significant need for an academically rigorous, biblically faithful high school education right here in South City. That is the heart behind City Christian Academy.
What are tuition costs for City Christian Academy?
We are still finalizing the details on overall costs for families but we will be sharing this information, as well as scholarship opportunities, at our Open House event on Thursday, November 14th. We are committed to accessible, rigorous, biblical education in Saint Louis City and our goal is that not one single family will be turned away by the cost.
Is City Christian Academy affiliated with any particular denomination?
CCA is an initiative of St. Louis Metro, a network of more than one hundred churches throughout the area. Their agreed upon doctrinal statement is the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message.
What is the connection between City Christian Academy and Tower Grove Church?
For nearly fifty years, Tower Grove Church has been offering high quality, affordable Christian education in the heart of South City. With respect to this legacy and a fresh eye toward the future, City Christian Academy will be assuming management of the K-8 school and launching a brand new high school program, beginning with 9th grade and adding one grade each year, in the Fall of 2025. Tower Grove Church will remain a key partner as they are joined by more than a hundred other churches in the Metro area to support the school in every way moving forward.
