“I believe that all children can succeed if placed in
an environment conducive to learning.” This led to the vision of The Christian
Prep Academy, which is to offer a well-rounded curriculum that fosters positive
spiritual, academic, physical, and emotional development in each child.
The mission is to operate a facility that would build
a foundation in the lives of young children that they can build upon. This will
alleviate the achievement gap that is so prevalent among our young children.

their facility to capacity!
