The Lord has truly blessed Caldwell Academy with an outstanding faculty and staff. We strive to hire individuals who are passionate about Christ, who are passionate about children, and who are passionate about their subject area. As opposed to “filling a bucket”, our teachers strive to “light a fire” in their students. Being a classical, Christian school, Caldwell seeks to equip our students with the tools of learning that will serve them for a lifetime as they seek to glorify God with their minds.
