Support KCSA
Our mission of equipping, inspiring and challenging students could not be a reality without the strong support of parents, grandparents, volunteers, churches, staff, alumni, prayer partners and our generous community. We believe God has brought each of our students and their families to our school for the purpose of engaging on a journey to become disciples who transform the world when they graduate.
