Rooted in Scripture and shaped by classical tradition—raising wise, courageous leaders for the renewal of Englewood.
Living and working in Englewood means becoming intimately familiar with a grief that should not be. I have stood with too many families around caskets that should have been graduation stages.
For over four decades, our ministry has served families here with compassion and faith. Yet we kept arriving after lives had already been shaped by broken systems. Then a question changed everything: what if our calling was not just to fix, but to aim?
This vision is Archer Christian Academy. For our families, this is our commitment: your children are worth fighting for.
Every child, launched with purpose
To cultivate godly wisdom, virtue, and courage so that graduates are launched like arrows: strong in character, true in aim, and ready to serve.
To see Englewood renewed by the hope of the Gospel, lived out by generations of servant leaders who build flourishing families, churches, and communities.
To forge students as whole persons—mind, body, and soul—through a Christ-centered classical education.
Rooted in Scripture and guided by wisdom, every lesson seeks what is true and good.
Education shapes mind, body, and soul together, cultivating intellect, virtue, and practical skill.
We stand firm with strength and integrity, but always with kindness, patience, and service to others.
Every child launched from Archer is a sign of renewal for their family, church, and community.
Every graduate is an arrow launched not for self-glory, but to bring renewal—shaped and sharpened for lasting impact.
Guided by the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, which keep their flight stable and true.
Forged in discipline and truth, growing straight and strong, free from the bends of compromise.
Sharpened by virtue—wisdom, courage, and justice—able to make a lasting impact without shattering.
An Archer graduate will be a young man or woman who thinks critically, communicates persuasively, creates with purpose, loves learning, discerns truth, embodies virtue, and is prepared for a life of service.
True. Disciplined. Discerning. Whole-Person. Classical. Known. Christ. Stretched-and-Loved. Faithful. Nine words guide every choice we make—from hiring to curriculum to how we treat a single child on a hard day.
We are unapologetically Christian. Our faith is not confined to a Bible class but is the foundation of everything we do.
We believe in one all-powerful God who rules over all things for His glory. He has eternally existed as three persons in perfect unity: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. From creation to the renewal of our city, everything exists to display His goodness.
We believe God created humanity, male and female, in His own image. Every person bears that image and carries deep worth, dignity, and purpose. We affirm the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death, and the beauty of God’s design for marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. Each student is a precious image-bearer, capable of growing in wisdom, creating beauty, and using their gifts for God’s glory.
We believe that when humanity first sinned, it fractured everything—corrupting our hearts, our relationships, and the world around us. This brokenness is the root of the conflict and darkness we see in our community and in ourselves, leaving us in desperate need of a Savior.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross in our place to pay for our sins, and rose from the dead three days later. He ascended into heaven and will one day return in power and glory.
We believe we are saved from sin and made right with God by grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ alone. This salvation is a free gift—not earned by our efforts, but given because of who Jesus is and what He has done.
We believe the Holy Spirit brings believers from death to life, giving us new hearts and gathering us into His Church. The Church is God’s chosen family, called to make disciples and carry out His mission in the world. Archer Christian Academy exists to serve that mission by raising up the next generation of faithful leaders.
We believe the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is the inspired and perfect Word of God. It stands as the ultimate authority for what we believe and how we live.
We believe Christ will return to judge the world and bring His eternal kingdom to completion, fully renewing the heavens and the earth. This certain hope gives meaning to our work today, calling us to live faithfully and labor for the peace and restoration of our city as we await His return.
