Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide an opportunity for these children to choose to be in right relationship with God, through providing education and thus breaking the stronghold of poverty for all future generations. OUr Statement of Faith: We believe in the Bible, that is the Word of God, wholly true and without errors. Scripture is God breathed and useful for teaching, correcting, and for training in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). We declare Gods Word, the Bible, to be complete and sufficient not needing any additions nor does it need support from any other source.

What it reported doing in 2024

Antioch christian academy provides education to 240 students in 2024. It currently offers kindergarten through high school. Parents choose the school because it offers quality education, including english proficiency classes, a biblical world view, a safe and friendly environment, and a curriculum focused on developing critical thinking and problem solving. In a region where only 23% of children attend high school and 1% are able to reach college level education, the school stands as a place to empower children through education so that they may break the cycle of poverty and abuse. In 2023, a basketball club was created that provided training to 100 kids. The program functions during weekdays for 10 months during the year.
