Welcome from the Head of School

Thank you for visiting the St. Paul Christian Academy website. I hope you find this site informative and helpful in introducing you to the heartbeat of our school and to our excellent program offerings.

St. Paul Christian Academy, located in Green Hills, is an independent co-educational day school serving children in junior kindergarten through sixth grade.

As a private Christian school, St. Paul Christian Academy is a warm and nurturing environment where each child is known and loved. Our students are challenged to think and communicate excellently, to embrace a Christian way of living, and to lead effectively. Each day we live out our three-pillared mission through rigorous academics, fine arts, and extra-curricular activities.

Our children are prepared for, accepted into, and thrive in the best college-preparatory schools in the city of Nashville.  While we focus on creating an environment that children embrace as fun and engaging, we do so with a keen eye toward equipping our boys and girls for the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual challenges they will face at their next-level schools. 

I invite you to browse our site to see why so many families choose St. Paul Christian Academy. We are far more than an educational institution; we are a caring community that partners with our families to build each child's life foundation. 

 

 

Notes from the Head of School

  • End-of-Year Blessing

    Posted May 21, 2013

    Dear St. Paul Parents,

    As I walked around campus this morning and heard so much laughter and mirth and saw so many smiles and hugs, I was again reminded of the depth and breadth of relationships that define our school. These relationships have been the mortar that builds and sustains the excellent foundation that your children enjoy now and will rely on throughout their lives. All of us parents have this exceptional faculty to thank for tenderly, carefully, and intentionally placing each brick of knowledge, skill, and character in its proper place within that foundation. So, I say thank you to the 2012-13 St. Paul faculty for a job well done!

    Continuing the analogy of the foundation being built brick by brick by brick, I am cognizant of the fact that our faculty could not secure each brick as firmly in the foundation as needed without our parents’ partnerships. You have been the kind of partners who enable us to help children reach their very best. So, on behalf of the entire faculty, I want to thank you for being such willing and able partners in building your child's future. Your gift to us of your children is an extraordinary blessing that we are honored and privileged to receive. Thank you.

    I wish each St. Paul family a healthy, happy, and richly relational summer. I hope your travels are inspirational. I hope your summer evenings are filled with laughter, love, and fond remembrances. I pray that the Word of God permeates your homes. I hope that there is much reading that occurs for all of your family members.

    As we close the 2012-13 school year, I offer this blessing to you from Paul in his second letter to the Thessalonians: "Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." I am

    Yours in Christ,

    Kenneth C. Cheeseman
