I did the CAK Homeschool program, and for the most part I enjoyed it. It allowed me to focus on subjects I was interested in and it was relatively easy for me to dual enroll full time my last two years of highschool (I graduated with both highschool diploma and Associate's degree simultaneously). The only complaint I have is that a year or so into highschool, the person in charge of the homeschool program switched grading to an archaic online system, which was hard to find and access.

I have attended Christian Academy of Knoxville since 8th grade and have not had a terrible experience. The academics are rigorous yet preparing. I feel as though the school has helped me understand my career path and has equipped me to follow through with it.

This school has ZERO diversity and teaches hate speech couched as “religious education” and ought to be closed down. It is run by evangelical fundamentalists.

We have had children in all 3 schools at CAK - elementary, middle and high school. All 3 of my children have loved their experience at CAK. They have each had a solid group of teachers and coaches. Can't imagine sending our children to any other school in Knoxville. A few side perks - the lunch prog...
