We offer early childhood education for children ranging from baby, infant, toddler, children, and kids for preschool, kindergarten, and school age child education (1st grade - 6th grade).

At the request of our parents, we have expanded to a Hazelwood location that can house over 200 students from the age of two years through the sixth grade. Our classrooms are air conditioned, video monitored, and safe for all ages.
At ASA Christian Academy, we use the Project Construct along with the Abeka Book Curricula. We choose the program that is developmentally appropriate for each age group. Our full day curriculum incorporates individual, small group, large group and cooperative learning. Our class sizes are small to provide more one on one teacher/student interaction.
Learning Centers are set up to allow children daily choices:
- Construction and Design - Math and Manipulatives - Science and Sensory - Reading and Relaxation - Writing - Art - Music and Movement
