Elementary

The elementary years (1st – 6th grade) are the foundational years of learning.

Curriculums Used:

  • Abeka
  • Abeka Math (non-common core)
  • Abeka and BJU Press for History
  • The Spanish Class

Junior High

With a focus on analysis and developing critical thinking skills, CAL Junior High students (7th-8th grade) will be prepared to take on the rigors of high school.

High School

The Christian Academy of Louisiana has chosen to partner with Liberty University’s Online Academy for our high school students (9th-12th grade). Blended learning takes the best of traditional education and technology to create an environment where students are the best prepared to succeed in today’s marketplace.

  • Students are challenged academically through a nationally accredited curriculum.
  • Upon completion of the course work, students meet or exceed the requirements to receive the TOPS University Pathway scholarships.
  • Students have the option to take college courses in high school (Dual Enrollment Courses) that count for both high school credits and college credits.
  • Etiquette courses equip students to successfully navigate job interviews, formal business meetings, dinners with potential clients or supervisors, and to dress appropriately for every circumstance.
  • Bible classes, along with the overall curriculum, provide students with a biblical worldview that is so desperately needed in our world today.
