Founded in 1981, Kearny Christian Academy began as a ministry and was transformed by the church elders, who wanted to give the area’s children a more meaningful, faith-based learning experience. Located across from the residential community on Wilson Avenue, Kearny Christian Academy offers a daycare program and elementary, middle and high school education. In elementary school, children have daily bible study and instructors employ a variety of teaching methods for students who benefit from different learning styles. Students prepare for high school with a busy schedule of core classes, and many students participate in extracurricular dance classes, including ballet, tap and jazz. The high school curriculum offers students a rigorous college preparatory track, and students consistently score above the national average on national and state standardized tests. Students advance to dive deeper into core subjects each year, and studies always include a solid biblical aspect. Vocational training is also available to Kearny's high school students. The academy frequently checks in on students’ progress and works closely with parents and guardians to ensure no child falls behind in their studies.

Academic wise I think KCA have a different methodology from the public schools, however I think my child is at the same level as a public school student (until now). The classrooms are clean and organized. Parents can easily get in touch with their children's teacher. Negative points are that the School doesn't have a playground for the kids to play, which is sham since it also has daycare. It should at least have a little playground. There isn't sports or a descent gym area. There isn't art room, or music classes. I don't think it is a school for a child with special needs as they don't have inclusion teachers there.

There wasn't anything if it wasn't seasons for sports. Later on when I became a senior they added more, but still nothing exciting.

Since the school is small, I always was able to participate more in class and have one on one conversations if I had questions. Everyone is so caring, loving t...
