Christian Schools in Greater Charleston
Church-run and independent Christian schools from Elkview and Cross Lanes to Hurricane, Scott Depot, Dunbar and Madison.
Funding note: Check each school against the Hope participating-school list; most Kanawha and Putnam Christian schools in our directory are on it, Clay Christian Academy is not.
Christian schools make up the largest group in the five counties, and they are spread out: Elk Valley Christian in Elkview, Cross Lanes Christian, New Hope Christian in South Charleston, Crusade Christian Academy in Dunbar, Bible Center School in Charleston, Calvary Baptist Academy in Hurricane, Teays Valley Christian in Scott Depot and Christian Faith Academy in Madison. Several carry a church's name, so ask whether member rates apply.
Most of these schools appear on the Hope list, but not all; Clay Christian Academy is on the state's nonpublic list and was not on the Hope list we checked. Three, Bible Center School, Calvary Baptist Academy and Teays Valley Christian, appear in the ACSI directory.
Where they are: Putnam County (2), Boone, Lincoln & Clay Counties (2), St. Albans, Nitro & Cross Lanes (2), South Charleston & Dunbar (2), Charleston (1), Elk Valley & Upper Kanawha (1).
