The Thinking Child Christian Academy

The Thinking Child Christian Academy is a private Christian school that offers classes for students in preschool through eighth grade. The program operates from the premise that every child has innate talents that, when fostered, allow the student to realize their ideal selves, with a firm belief that every child can learn and a focus on each child's individual learning style.

• Ages: 4–13 years old

Originally a pre-school, this location has been a staple in the Homestead community since the 1970s, and The Thinking Child Christian Academy opened its doors in March of 2007. The school has expanded to include preschool through eighth grade and offers these classes in a nurturing environment. Its mission states that it is never too early to be college ready and that its rigorous curriculum lays the foundation for the critical thinking skills necessary for future academic steps. The mission also describes a vision for a VPK–8 school that is highly regarded for academic excellence and community contribution, and it emphasizes a racially and culturally diverse community of students, parents, and staff in which each person is treated with unconditional positive regard and acceptance. The Thinking Child Christian Academy is an AISF and NECPA accredited private school. The program’s stated community involvement highlights a long-standing commitment to serving the children and families of Homestead and its surrounding communities and notes that it is a place where children learn and grow academically while understanding the importance of making a positive impact in their community.
