Why Choose CAK?
A Place Where Faith and Learning Are Woven Together
At CAK, we partner with families who desire more than an excellent education. They want a place where their child is known, challenged, encouraged, and grounded in biblical truth. CAK is a place where faith and learning are naturally integrated, teachers invest deeply in their students, and authentic community flourishes.
CAK is a covenant Christian school, which means that we partner with families who share our foundational faith in Jesus Christ. As part of the application process, at least one parent must sign the Statement of Faith and be willing and able to share their testimony in the family interview. This shared commitment creates a strong partnership between home, school, and church, allowing us to educate and disciple students within a unified, Christ-centered community.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child, and we are honored that you are considering Christian Academy of Knoxville. With many excellent educational options in the Knoxville area, we do not take your interest in CAK for granted.
As you explore our admissions process, we hope you will discover what makes our community unique and begin to picture your family here. We would love the opportunity to get to know you, answer your questions, and walk alongside you as you discern the best educational and spiritual home for your child.
Family Testimonials
Become a Warrior
Since 1977, Christian Academy of Knoxville has partnered with Christian families to provide a Christ-centered, college preparatory education for students in preschool through 12th grade. Located on an 81-acre campus in West Knoxville, CAK is an independent Christian school committed to academic excellence, biblical truth, and the development of the whole child.
We are honored to have been consistently recognized as Knoxville's First Place Christian School by Cityview Magazine. Even more meaningful, however, is our 96% student retention rate, which is a reflection of the strong relationships, exceptional education, and vibrant community families find at CAK.
Because so many families choose to stay, openings can be limited, and some grade levels fill quickly. We encourage you to begin the admissions process early to give your family the best opportunity for enrollment.
