Private, Christian education for children in and around Searcy, Arkansas.

At Searcy Christian Academy, our mission is to partner with families to provide a Christ-centered, academically challenging education, emphasizing Christian values and character, while cultivating and nurturing leaders to impact the world for Jesus Christ.

Our History

Searcy Christian Academy was the vision of a small, but dedicated, group of homeschool parents who desired a school where their children could grow - both academically and spiritually. They approached the leadership committee of Christian Life Church of Searcy, who agreed with their mission. Thus, Liberty Christian School was founded in the fall of 1998. The school offered its small student body a solid K-12 faith-based education.

A five-person Board took over ownership and responsibility for the school and Liberty Christian School was officially incorporated! The following month, they began enrolling new students.

The school received a blessing in the form of a new location that was both rent and utility-free. James Kidd, owner of Cornerstone Steel in Searcy, allowed the school to operate in an empty building on his lot. The new location opened in January of 2001, with a total of 27 students. The school became known for providing top-notch elementary education, leading to so many new enrollments that yet another location move became necessary - this time a more permanent one.

In the spring of 2002, a vote was made to buy the building on Benton Street, where the school remains. Within a year, renovations were made to accommodate the growing student body - namely the addition of four classrooms and restrooms.

As the celebration of our 25th year of providing Christian education, the school board and a focus group of stakeholders worked to refresh the branding to grow awareness of the programs and student achievements. The rebrand encouraged local families to experience quality education in a nurturing environment. 

We continue to be thankful for the many blessings the Lord has provided us with - including our gifted and committed faculty members, dedicated School Board, and the precious families we get to partner with. We look forward, Lord willing, to serving the families of Searcy for many generations to come.


Searcy Christian Academy partners with families to provide a Christ-centered, academically challenging education, emphasizing Christian values and character, while cultivating and nurturing leaders to impact the world for Jesus Christ. Through the passion and persistent dedication of many families and individuals, Searcy Christian Academy has increasingly become a highly respected school, providing outstanding education to hundreds of students over the years. We remember our beginning with a genuine attitude of appreciation for those who had a vision to begin a private, completely independent, Christian school in Searcy, Arkansas. It is with humble hearts that we have seen that vision develop and evolve, and we are truly blessed to have reached this milestone in our history.
