About Creative Academy

Creative Academy partners with parents in a unique mentor-driven model of K-12th education across the Twin Cities area.

Students participate in engaging, dynamic classroom environments that teach core and elective classes through a biblical worldview. Instead of sitting passively in a classroom environment for eight hours a day, students are actively involved in learning through the vehicles of family, church, school, and community. Creative Academy’s Socratic learning model helps students develop the academic curiosity they need to become a generation of lifelong learners and culture shapers.

Read our Mission, Vision & Purpose

Mission

Creative Academy exists to strengthen Christian community, enhance socio-academic skills, and advance the Kingdom of God. Our mission is to create parent-church partnerships that nurture a lifelong love of learning and an appreciation for the arts within the context of a strong biblical worldview. We equip the next generation of leaders to excel in the home, the church, and the marketplace.

Vision

In partnership with homeschooling parents and Creative Church, Creative Academy endeavors to train up a generation of culture-shapers by creating community, enhancing skills, and nurturing kingdom-mindedness.

Purpose

Creative Academy connects parents, teachers, and homeschool students around the central hub of Creative Church, providing collective oversight and connective opportunities. Creative Academy fosters connective threads between the local church and Christian institutions of higher education, strengthening the bonds of unity, creating a rich culture of educational and workplace influence, and preparing students for college, career, and family life.

Why Homeschooling?

Across America today, 56 million students attend schools where God has been purposefully dissected from the foundations of learning. The youngest generations have been indoctrinated in an academic system that has produced the fruit of anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, drug abuse, youth homicide, STDs, and atheism.

Homeschooling is a system of family discipleship where parents take on the responsibility of educating their children at home through a variety of methods and systems. For most Christian families, this means providing a Bible-based education centered on both spiritual and academic formation.

Creative Academy is built on a foundation that restores Christianity, the church, and the family to the center point of academia, reversing the trend of negative fruit in the youngest generations.

The student who is fully trained will become like the teacher.
Luke 6:40b

How Does Creative Academy Work?

Homeschoolers can study at home for their entire K-12th career. However, we’ve found the support of the classroom can provide homeschoolers with a valuable community experience that fosters growth and maturity.

Creative Academy gives parents the confidence of knowing who is teaching their children and what ideologies they are being trained up in. Our model encourages the development of competencies that educate students in the truth of God’s word, partnering with parents in raising up a generation of world changers.

Attend Class 2x a Week

Students attend class 2 days a week, providing the necessary balance of reflection and connection designed to stir up an academic curiosity and fuel life-long learning.

Core & Elective Courses

Elective courses include Art, Crazy Science Experiments, Countries and Cultures, Personal Faith, Food and Nutrition, Speech/Debate, Music, and Leadership Skills to name a few.

Flexible Hours

We trade the 8 hour school days for a flexible schedule which you set to match your family dynamic.

Designed for Engagement

We sit in circles instead of rows to encourage every student to participate.

Mentored by Parents not Peers

This leads to students who are more likely to be civically engaged, more intergenerationally-minded, more likely to remain in the faith, and more secure in their identity than those educated in the traditional system.

Partnership

Parents join with the church and Christian teachers who share the parents’ core values and are committed to the student’s success.

Read our Statement of Faith

Only One Living and True God

There is only one living and true God. There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is totally and completely Holy. (Genesis 1:2-27; Matthew 28:19; I John 5:7)

Inspired Word of God

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ, conceived of the Virgin Mary, is the only begotten Son of the Father. Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor. (Luke 1:26-33; Hebrews 7:25)

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

With the Baptism of the Holy Spirit comes the power for life and service. The gifts given by the Holy Spirit are for ministry to the body of Christ. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; I Corinthians 12: 4-11)

Salvation

We believe every person is disobedient to God’s desires and plans in varying degrees. Any disobedience to God, regardless of how large or small, is characterized as sin. Sin literally separates each person from God, which is spiritual death. Spiritual death is not God’s desire. People can be united with God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and through Him alone. Jesus died for sinners. Anyone who accepts and believes in Jesus’ death for his or her personal sins, and desires to have Him as King of their life, is forgiven for every sin. Upon this personal decision, God re-established a personal relationship with that person and promises eternal life. (Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10; John 14:6)

Baptism by Immersion

We believe in water baptism by immersion in water in the name of the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:11; Matthew 28:18-19; John 14:6)

Healing

We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively. (Acts 3:2-12; Acts 5:15-16; James 5:14-15; Isaiah 53:5)

Second Coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised. ( Acts 1:10-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 1:7)

Those Who Die Outside of Christ

We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or Hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ. (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:29; Jude 1:7)

Sacredness of Marriage

We believe in the sacredness of marriage between man and woman and family commitment. We promote strong family values. ( Ephesians 5:31-33; Ephesians 6:1-4; Hebrews 13:4)

These beliefs are items we will not compromise on. They are the compass that points in the right direction. The methods we use to reach people may change, but our message will remain constant.
