History

Alabama Christian Academy was founded in 1942. The founders of the school wanted to provide families of central Alabama a place where students could receive a Bible-based education. Alabama Christian relocated to its current site on Wares Ferry Road in 1985. Along with the move, the school began an extensive building plan which increased the number of elementary and high school classrooms and renovated the football stadium.[5]
