Airdrie Christian Academy (formerly Airdrie Koinonia Christian School) was founded in September of 1987 with three full-time teachers, one part-time teacher and approximately fifty students from kindergarten through grade seven. It was one of the largest school starts in the Calgary area.

​ACA is accredited by the Alberta Department of Education and maintains official memberships with the Association of Christian Schools International and the Association of Independent Schools and Colleges of Alberta.
​  
By integrating a Christian worldview into the curriculum provided by Alberta Education, we have been impacting the lives of children in Airdrie and surrounding area for over 30 years. We offer a rigorous, yet safe and friendly, environment for children from Preschool to Grade 12 and provide them with a solid foundation for their futures, both academically and spiritually. 

​This school was started for His glory, and will continue on only for His glory! Only Christ and His truth are our foundation, and on Him alone will we stand.
