History

Christian Academy of Madison, was founded in 2007. The school was modeled after its sister school, Christian Academy of Carrollton, Kentucky, as well as schools in the Christian Academy of Louisville School System.

CAM's facility, originally the Wingham Paving Company, consists of a single building with two wings. The original building was renovated to house offices, a computer/assembly room, and one class room; the back wing was added for five classrooms and additional restrooms. An addition to the classroom wing in 2009 added seven new classrooms, allowing grades to be split up into their individual levels to meet enrollment growth and to begin to add high school grades. The plan of the school's leadership is to add a grade each year until the school's enrollment spans four-year-old kindergarten through twelfth grade, which means adding facilities to house the upper grades as well as a gymnasium someday.^{[citation needed]}
