Talk:Chapel Christian Academy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chapel Christian Academy was an educational ministry of Limerick Chapel in Limerick, PA, USA provided a Fundamentalist Christian education in grades K-12.

The Academy was founded in 1974 as a ministry of Limerick Chapel, and as a part of the Christian School movement. Parents were encouraged to remove their children from the Public school system due to lack of Biblical influence in the public school cirriculum.

The Academy was based on the Bible being the inerrant word of God and therefore Creationism was the basis of all scientific teaching at the school.

The school began with grades 1-6 and each year added a grade. In 1981, the academy had its first graduating class. Graduates from Chapel Christian Academy were encouraged to attend Fundamentalist Christian colleges such as Bob Jones University, Pensacola Christian College and Cedarville University.

The Academy had three major divisions: Elementary (K-6), Junior High (7-8), and High School (9-12).

Chapel Christian Academy was a member of the Keystone Christian Education Association.

Financial problems with the church and school caused the Academy to close after the 2006-07 school year.
