all things.

Christian Life Academy supports Christian families by providing a biblically
based education that develops individual academic excellence. We seek to
form young men and women who will know and serve the Lord Jesus Christ with
all their heart, mind and strength.
History
After graduating from Penn State, Princeton Seminary and Prairie Bible
Institute, Earl F. Tygert (Brother Earl) founded Life Ministries, Inc. in
1938. The Lord's International Faith Enterprise ("Life") was established as
a faith supported ministry with the express purpose of proclaiming and
promoting the Word of God. Brother Earl and Mrs. Tygert ministered
extensively in the Orient, spending a total of 18 years in Japan as well as
preaching to missionaries in China and Korea.
 In 1967 the Lord led the Tygert family back to the United States. In 1969
Life Ministries acquired the property at River Ridge, near Franklin, with
the hopes that a Bible school, Christian day school, and a missionary and
conference center might someday be established.
Christian Life Academy had the first meeting of inquiry during the late
winter of 1974; and the school doors opened at Life Ministries' (the
"Castle") on the River Ridge property the next September, with a modest six
students. In the next four years the school grew to more than 120 students.
God continues to keep His hand of blessing upon our school.
Christian Life Academy is a member of the Association of Christian Schools
International. ACSI is the largest Christian school association and serves
its members in the
 United
States and around the world by offering conventions, conferences, school and
teacher accreditation, student activities, and various other services
designed to improve the quality of Christian education.
In 1991 the Lord enabled us to purchase the former Cranberry Area High
School. CLA continues to initiate
new academic programs and co-curricular activities to meet the spiritual and
educational needs of the students.
In 2010 CLA relocated to the the Pinoak School, now owned and operated by
Venango Woods Church in Seneca.
