Academics
Elementary School
Grades K - 5th
The early years matter.
At CAK Elementary, children are building the foundation for everything that follows academically, socially, and spiritually. This is where curiosity is nurtured, confidence begins to grow, and a child’s understanding of who they are in Christ takes root.Because CAK is a covenant Christian school, families and the school share a common foundation of faith. Parents are believers who are actively engaged in their child’s spiritual growth, and that partnership shapes everything we do. Education at CAK is not separate from what is happening at home or church; it is an extension of it. Together, we come alongside each child to encourage, guide, and point them toward Christ in both learning and life.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Academic Excellence
CAK blends academic rigor with creative exploration grounded in a biblical worldview. We focus on developing essential literacy, math, and critical-thinking skills while integrating science, social studies, and the arts. Our students learn to understand the world and see it through the lens of God’s Word. Notably, 2/3 of our elementary faculty hold advanced degrees.
Students experience STEM, art, Spanish class, music, PE/health, and library time each week. Starting in the 3rd grade, students begin learning keyboarding skills. Also, 5th graders can choose their elective class for the year, including band, coding, greenhouse, production, athletic training, and more!

Spiritual Life
At CAK, spiritual life is woven into every part of the elementary experience as we seek to make disciples who know, love, and follow Christ. Through weekly Bible classes, chapel services, and Scripture memory, students build a strong foundation in God's Word. Each year, every elementary student memorizes an entire chapter of Psalms, culminating in our special Psalms Chapel.
Our students also learn that faith is lived out through serving others. Every class partners with a Mission Parent to lead hands-on service opportunities, including monthly projects that support Isaiah 117 House and other ministry initiatives.
As a meaningful milestone before middle school, our fifth-grade students spend three days on a spiritual retreat to grow in their relationship with Christ, strengthen friendships, and reflect on what it means to follow Him. These intentional experiences help students develop a faith that extends beyond the classroom and into their daily lives.
