It was founded in 1985 as a ministry of Christ Presbyterian Church. The school’s mission is to partner with Christian families: to help students know God, evaluate life and knowledge by His truth, and live transformed lives for His glory.

CPA’s campus spans 58 acres and includes academic buildings, athletic fields, playscapes, and outdoor learning spaces.
