Description: Southwest Christian Academy is a fully accredited private Christian school for grades 1-12 and licensed daycare/preschool for children ages 18 months to kindergarten.
Southwest Christian Academy is an independent, interdenominational, educational institution dedicated to academic excellence and the care and development of the total child.
Southwest Christian Academy began June 1, 1987, with 27 students for summer day care and leased Charity Community Church’s facility at 11111 Geyer Springs Road in Little Rock, AR. As the student body grew, three portable buildings were purchased by the school to accommodate the increased enrollment. In 1995, new facilities were completed on the adjacent lot, north of Charity Community Church to house approximately 200 students. Five new classrooms were added to the main facility in 1997.
Enrollment grew to over 450 students in 2000. In January of 2000, grades 5-12 occupied their new classroom building. Plans to build a new athletic facility plus class rooms were made during 2000-2001. In October of 2001, the new athletic/classroom facility was completed.
Enrollment for the 2003-2004 school year has grown to over 500 students and, with the campus expansion complete, enrollment is expected to continue growing each year.
