About Christ Classical Academy

Opening Fall 2026 with your support: A classical Lutheran school in Manhattan, Kansas providing education rooted in tradition, truth, and excellence.

Our Story

Located on 9 acres of land in the fastest growing subdivision in the Manhattan area, Christ Lutheran Church members recognized the need for a school that combines academic excellence with faithful Christian teaching.

In January 2025, the congregation unanimously voted to establish the school and launch a fundraising campaign of $200,000 to open our doors in Fall 2026.

We are committed to partnering with parents to provide an education that nurtures the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—preparing them not just for college or career, but for a life of wisdom and virtue.

Our Motto

Verbum Gratia Veritas - The Word of Grace and Truth

Taken from John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Our Beliefs

Christ Classical Academy adheres to the historic Lutheran confessions, particularly as expressed in the Book of Concord. We believe:

The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
In the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death, His resurrection, His ascension, and His future return in power and glory.
That salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
