Sunrise Christian Academy

School Profile

Founded In 1983, by Dr. Robert Lindsted, Sunrise Christian Academy began as a grade school emphasizing academic excellence and Biblical teaching. The school began with one teacher and six students. Over the years it has grown to include over 500 students on a campus spanning 18 acres.
Sunrise is a college preparatory, nondenominational Christian school graduating 45-50 seniors each year.
Religious Affiliation-Sunrise Christian Academy is not associated with any one church. However, the faculty and staff are like-minded in the truths of God’s Word and strive together to glorify the Lord with all that we do.
Accreditation
Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
National Association of Private Schools (NAPS)
Education
Sunrise includes childcare through 12th grade. The student to teacher ratio from kindergarten to 12th grade averages 18:1. Elementary uses a challenging and thorough curriculum that prepares students for a higher level of education in Junior High and High School. Within the Junior High and High School, SCA offers multiple levels of educational programs. The Precept program is a tutorial class setting with a 6:1 student/teacher ratio. There are also standard and advanced core courses and 16 honors level courses. Additionally, SCA currently offers 12 hours of dual college credit through Central Christian College.
Student Body
The Sunrise student body is the picture of diversity. We have a large international program at the high school level. This allows our students to share in other cultures and develop friendships with students of many ethnicities. We believe it is also an effective tool to fulfill the Great Commission right here at SCA.
Testing
The Stanford Achievement Test is administered to K-8th grades.
The PSAT is administered to 9th – 11th grade students.
