Partners in Faith and Academic Excellence

Crown of Life Christian Academy is thankful to have partnerships within our local community. We are blessed to have two supporting congregations:
Bethany Ev. Lutheran Church and Abiding Shepherd Lutheran Church.

CLCA scholars seeking to continue their Christian education in high school are blessed to have two nearby options:
Lakeside Lutheran High School in Lake Mills, WI as well as Luther Preparatory School, located in Watertown, WI.
These high schools along with CLCA are members of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).
