Overview
Yorktown Christian Academy was established in 1994 by members of Yorktown Baptist Church. Their goal was to provide Christian families throughout the community with a Christ-centered educational experience. In 2002, YCA incorporated as an independent Christian school carrying out that mission for new generations. YCA is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). ACSI has approximately 5,300 member schools that represent over 1.3 million students in 100 countries.
Our Purpose

Dress Code
The goal of the Yorktown Christian Academy Standardized Dress Code is to honor God in our outward appearance. Additionally, the YCA dress code seeks to promote school pride and to encourage a personal sense of belonging to a school that sets high moral and academic expectations. The dress code applies to all student activities both on and off campus (i.e. sporting events, school programs, etc.). It is difficult for a dress code to be entirely comprehensive; therefore, YCA retains the right to determine the appropriateness of every student’s dress and amend the dress code as deemed necessary. Students may wear blue jeans and YCA Spirit Wear on Fridays.
Lunches
Students at YCA may bring lunches or purchase a lunch from some pre-arranged vendors.
Chapel/Bible
Weekly chapel services allow students and faculty members to experience worship, praise, instruction and fellowship. Bible curriculum includes weekly scripture memory.
Communication
YCA strives to keep parents and students informed at all levels.
- Email and the school website are used to communicate to parents and students. Information about the current school year as well as policies and procedures can be found on the school website.
- The Monday packets for students may include class and school-wide information and school work from the previous week for elementary students.
- Grades/Homework: YCA communicates this information via the website. Parents/Guardians should supply YCA with an up-to-date e-mail address for communication purposes.
Student Conduct
A high standard of conduct is required of each student at YCA for the purpose of maintaining order and building Christ-like character.
Standardized Testing
Achievement tests are administered each spring to students in K - 8th grade. The school participates in the ACSI testing program. The tests are sent to a testing agency and YCA receives narrative reports that are distributed to the parents. These reports compare our students with national norms and norms developed for ACSI schools.
