Coed Day School, Grades JK-12, 725 Students 13820 Hagers Ferry Road, Huntersville, NC www.southlakechristian.org
Mission
SouthLake Christian Academy exists for the sake of God’s glory and mission; proclaiming the gospel, educating and discipling the whole person in all aspects of God’s reality.
A Thriving Christian School in an Idyllic Setting near Charlotte
SouthLake Christian Academy was founded in 1994 as a ministry of SouthLake Presbyterian (PCA) Church. The school started with just 23 students in grades K-3, and now enrolls 725 students in junior kindergarten through 12th grade. As the school has grown, it has broadened its program to now offer a rigorous academic program, outstanding athletics, and a deep commitment to the arts. While it is significantly larger than it was at the time of its founding, SLCA retains a smaller-school atmosphere, where all members of the community are known by name and where the distinct academic, personal, and spiritual needs of students are supported.
The vision of SouthLake Christian is that Christ may be preeminent in all things. Because of this, the SLCA community sees the school as a mission, where students are taught the gospel of Jesus Christ through daily instruction in God’s Word and integration of biblical principles into every academic, artistic, athletic, service and social endeavor. It is the school’s hope that each student and family that comes to SouthLake Christian will come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
