Every family is unique, and there are many different reasons you may consider switching from public school to Christian Academy of Knoxville. Some students prefer our smaller community environment, and others want more rigorous academics. However, the most important thing we all have in common at CAK is our love of Jesus Christ.
CAK has consistently been voted as the best Christian school in City View Magazine’s Best of the Best Poll.
