Our mission is to fulfill the threefold given to believers in the Great Commission as found in Matthew 28:18-20. To teach each student who Jesus Christ is and encourage him to begin a personal relationship with Him as Savior and Friend. We will endeavor to see each student become an active and contributing member of a local New Testament church. We will teach each student the importance of becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ by putting Him in His proper place in his life as his Lord. This should be seen in a life of obedience to all things God has given us in His Word.

• We believe in the verbal/plenary inspiration of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
• We believe that God preserved His Word for His saints. We believe that the King James Version of the Bible is God’s Word for the English-speaking people.
• We believe that Jesus Christ is the virgin born Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit and is fully God and perfect humanity united without mixture.
• We believe that man is born with a sinful nature and is in need of a New Birth.
• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of all mankind as our substitutionary sacrifice.
• We believe that all those who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit, have become children of God, and receive the gift of eternal life.
• We believe in the local church – a called out assembly of born again believers who have voluntarily joined themselves together to carry out the Great Commission.
• We believe in the eternal security of the believer.
• We believe in the personal, premillennial, pretribulational, imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord and His ascension into heaven.
• We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust. We believe in the everlasting blessedness of the just and the everlasting punishment of the lost (Heaven and Hell).

• We are so excited that you are interested in learning about the admission and enrollment process at Christian Academy of the Smokies.
• The first step is to contact school office for information. This can be done by phone at 865-774-0012 between office hours of 8:00 AM until 3:30 PM. The office administrator will also be available in person during this time. A request can also be submitted by email to office@casmokies.com
• Following the initial contact you may schedule a visit of our campus where our staff can help you view the facilities and opportunities we offer at CAS.
• During this visit the office administrator will provide an application with information on admission and what will be required for enrollment.
• Upon completion of the application a meeting will be set up with the administration to make sure that the family is familiar with the standards, practices and procedures of our Academy and answer any questions that the parent/guardian might have.

• At Christian Academy of the Smokies we encourage our students to express their creativity and gifts through the outlets of music, performing, and visual arts.
• We have been blessed with several talented musicians who are willing to help pass on their skills to our students. The CAS fine arts program has won and placed in national. Students will perform in choirs, ensembles, and orchestras. They will also have the opportunity to sign up for private lessons to develop skills in several musical instruments and voice.

• The community will have multiple opportunities to help financially support Christian Academy of the Smokies and help us make our educational program available to more families.
• Every fall CAS hosts the Falltastic Celebration at Chestnut Hill Park. Tickets can be purchased to attend this event where families will hear live music, play games, and enjoy great food as we enjoy the beginning of Fall as a community.
• In the early spring the academy will host an Art Show. Tickets are sold and attendees will have the opportunity to purchase art projects created by the CAS students and donated from local artists.
• The final annual fundraiser is the CAS Online Auction. The school accepts donations to be auctioned including passes to local attractions, donated items, and gift cards.
• All of these fundraisers are made possible by the “Friends of the Academy” (FOA). This organization was founded around the same time as the school. It’s purpose is to help “hold up the arms” of the CAS staff by assuming the burden of fundraising and helping to provide important materials needed for the operation of the school. Ask the office administration for helping to become a part of this organization which offers many benefits.
