Inclement Weather Procedures

Dear CLA Families, For times of inclement weather (school closings, delays, and early dismissals), CLA usually follows the Brookfield School system. So, if Brookfield schools are closed, CLA will be closed as well.

However, because we have many families and staff commuting from long distances, we do reserve the right to determine whether the school will open in cases where Brookfield schools are delayed or have early dismissal. This is done for the safety of our families and staff. In all cases, CLA will communicate our status in the following ways:


  1. Email:
    • Gradelink
  2. Media:
    • NBC30 (Channel 6)
  3. Text from Christian life Academy: Contact the main office if you are unsure your phone number is current

  • 2 Hour Delay
    • 10:15 am student arrival
    • 10:25 am school begins
      • There is NO Before Care
    • Normal dismissal time
  • 3 Hour Delay
    • 11:15 am student arrival
    • 11:25 school begins
      • There is NO Before Care
    • Normal dismissal time
  • Early Dismissals
    • 11:30 am (typically)
      • NO Bus service

 

 

2024 Year End Giving Campaign

 

There is more need than ever “for such a time as this” to raise our children to think clearly, independently, and Biblically; to teach them to stand on and stand strong in their faith, to be an inspiration, and to live by God’s wisdom and grace.

We need your help to finish the year strong. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the school by December 31st.  Your donation helps us with the day-to-day costs of running the school, as well as helps us provide financial aid to families who otherwise couldn’t attend.

Every gift, large or small, makes a huge difference for our school – thank you for your gift!

A Letter from Alli Morgan

Dear CLA parents, My name is Alli, and I’m the owner of Alleycat Catering.  This Fall, we are excited to be back and to commence our 11th year! A little information about me. I was born and raised in Australia where, after a four-year working apprenticeship and trade college, I qualified as a chef and then worked in several restaurants, including one of the largest department stores in Melbourne. I am passionate about good nutrition for our own family, and a big believer in the truth of what ancient Hippocrates said: “Let food be thy medicine, or medicine will be thy food.” I believe that, working together, we can encourage all our children to love eating well. My husband and I have 6 children, all of whom have been students at CLA! 4 have graduated, with 2 enrolled for 2024-2025. We love our school. It is always such a joy to have the support of parents and staff so that I can serve you and your children the best way possible. I know how much we all look forward to the new school year, and I can’t wait to see all the little faces once again.   Love and blessings, Alli Morgan Alleycat Catering

It All Adds Up to Big Blessings!

Dear CLA Community,

Considering the world today – it is evident that a strong Christian education could not be more important.  Are you looking for a way to support Christian Life Academy that will fit your budget?   God is able to bless and multiply even the smallest sacrifice given in faith – because all the little bits really add up.

 

WHAT CAN MY DONATION DO FOR CLA STUDENTS?

For many CLA families and prospective families it’s very difficult to afford a Christian education.  You have the power to change all of that.

Click here to donate here and help us reach our goal of $3,000.

Here’s what our parents and alumni are saying:

“Christian Life Academy has been nothing short of a blessing for our family! Our Children had come from a public school district where they were bullied and hurt and were disliking school so much that our youngest would be in tears not wanting to go. Christian Life turned that around for our family and we now have happy, smiling faces at drop off. Christian Life is very pro-active against bullying and it is absolutely not tolerated!! My children feel safe and secure when going to school and the best part, it’s like being part of a big family. My kids are receiving the best education possible and the teachers and staff all go above and beyond for each child. You couldn’t ask for a better place for your child to be!! Feeling so blessed by CLA!!”

 

“Placing our child in CLA was the best decision I’ve made. Her confidence is back. She loves coming to school again. She is able to get one-on-one help and her reading levels have gone up. She’s learning new things everyday and enjoys it. She no longer feels overwhelmed. By keeping our daughter in CLA she will get the best education and learning experience there is.”

 

“CLA has been a second family to our daughter. She has learned so many things academically, socially, and spiritually. She is safe and appreciated by teachers and friends. The continuous effort to improve every aspect of the school motivates us to continue investing there and spreading the word in our community.”

 

“I am a CLA alumni, having attended CLA from 2nd grade through to graduating 8th grade. This school laid the foundation for my continued education, helping me succeed in high school and also in college. Because of the CLA Curriculum/teaching I was always ahead in my learning and also the public system, but most importantly, CLA was an incredible asset in my relationship with Christ. Each and every class was gospel- centered and God-glorifying. The importance of my growing walk with God in my home was continued/encouraged everyday in school. Christ being everything in my life didn’t stop when I went to school. To this day, I believe school has one of the greatest influences in a child’s life, and I’m so grateful that 5 days a week/7 hours a day, I was blessed/reinforced with a God-centered education. I still remember so many important, valuable lessons from the teaching there and am very grateful for this school.”

 

Praise the Lord for these testimonies!  This is why we’re inviting you to contribute to our Fall Fundraising Campaign.  

  • Provide urgently needed student financial aid support for families earnestly desiring a Christian education
  • Come together to help Build Academic Strength, Spiritual Growth, A Safe and Secure Place to Learn
