Christ-centered learning
Scripture is not a subject bolted on at the end of the day — it shapes how every subject is taught, and how every child is treated.

Our mission
To glorify God, and help every student reach their full potential — mind, body and spirit.
Star City Christian Academy is a micro-school, similar to a homeschool co-op, built around personalized attention, hands-on experience and a whole lot of love. We exist to lead children into a relationship with God and to give them an education that is academically excellent and spiritually rich.

Why families choose SCCA
Small by design
Teachers who know your child
Our staff bring decades of classroom experience — National Board certification, master’s degrees, ESL and special-subject training — to classes small enough that nobody gets lost.
Hands-on, real-world
Learning that leaves the classroom — experiences, projects and outings that connect what students read to the world they live in.
Arkansas EFA funding
Your child may be able to attend for free.
The Arkansas Department of Education provides scholarship-like funding through an Educational Freedom Account — and Star City Christian Academy accepts it. For many families it covers tuition entirely.
If the application looks daunting, don’t let it stop you. Make an appointment and we will sit down and walk through it with you.
Our story
Founded by two friends who wanted more for children.
SCCA was founded in the fall of 2025 by Lori DeJarnette and Rebecca McGee — lifelong friends and career educators. After years of service in the public school system, they felt called to create a small, Christ-centered environment where children could grow spiritually and academically at the same time.
Between them they bring nearly forty years in the classroom, a master’s degree, National Board certification, and a shared conviction that a child’s hardest moments can become a testimony rather than a sentence.
