Rooted in Faith,

Growing in Excellence.

The Academy at Craig Ranch is a ministry of Brookhaven Church, established to provide a faith-based foundation for young learners. We are proud to be a part of Brookhaven’s mission to help individuals grow in their relationship with Christ and discover God’s purpose for their lives. Through our preschool programs, we continue this legacy of faith, love, and learning.

Our Mission

At The Academy, we are committed to nurturing every child’s unique, God-given potential. Our mission is to partner with families in creating an environment where children flourish spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally. Rooted in biblical principles, we prepare young hearts and minds to honor God and serve others.

Our Vision

Guided by the truth of Matthew 19:14, we aim to create a community where every child knows they are deeply loved by God and empowered to live out His purpose for their life.

Biblical Integration

Our curriculum is designed to reveal God’s hand in every subject—science showcases His creation, math reflects His order, and history tells His story.

Character Development

Through daily lessons and activities, we instill Christian values like kindness, integrity, and respect.
