Dear Christ Academy Family,
As we look forward to the 2021-2022 school year at Christ Academy, we would like to share some exciting changes with you! To advance our mission to produce academically well-rounded students who model the character of Christ, Christ Academy is always looking at our programs and evaluating ways in which we can adjust, grow, and extend learning opportunities for our learners, who are at the center of all that we do.
Next year, our junior high and senior high programs will be united as the Upper School at Christ Academy. We are very excited to join these two departments to be able to provide the best synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities for our students in grades 6-12. In addition, this divisional model will allow us to provide developmentally appropriate for students in each grade level to experience academic success.
Mrs. Adams will be stepping into the role of Upper School Division Head and will work to provide a unified vision, set of goals, and expectations for teachers and students in grades 6-12 that accomplishes the school vision and goals. She will oversee the divisional scheduling, staffing, budgeting, and communication. She will also continue to provide digital training and support for EC3 through twelfth grade students and teachers.
Mrs. Ross will be stepping into the role of Upper School Instructional Specialist and will work to provide curricular and classroom support to 6-12 grade teachers. She will also oversee curriculum development at the upper school level. Mrs. Ross will continue to teach 6-8 science and will be actively involved in the development of new STEAM courses for upper school students.
