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. 

Christian Academy of Oak Ridge is a Christian Hybrid school.  

What is a Hybrid school?  A Hybrid school is a school or academy that is recognized by the state and provides guidance, accountability, grades, records, and diplomas like a public school, but the student studies off campus (at home), similar to a homeschool.

1. Christian Curriculum - Has stood the test of time and has been used by all Christian faiths.
2. You Know What Your Student is Studying - No re-written history and no indoctrination of alternative lifestyles or political agendas at this academy.
3. Flexible Study Time - 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.
4. Flexible Study Location - 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.
5. Private "Hybrid" School - A Hybrid school is a school or academy that is recognized by the state and provides guidance, accountability, grades, records, and diplomas like a public school, but the student studies off campus (at home), similar to a homeschool.
6. Education for All - Grades K-12.  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.
7. Diagnostic Testing - 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.
8. Teamwork Education - Curriculum teaches, parents/caregivers give support, we oversee and coach.
9. 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.
10. GPA Booster - 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.
