Admissions
Where students grow—and parents have a say.
At Concordia Academy, we partner with families to provide a Classical & Christian education that forms students academically, spiritually, and personally. With small class sizes, a strong sense of community, and an approach rooted in faith and purpose, we walk alongside parents every step of the way.
We serve families on two campuses, united by one mission.
Primary School — Derby Campus
208 S. Derby Ave, Derby, KS
Our Primary School campus serves students from Preschool through 8th Grade in a warm, neighborhood environment where children are known, supported, and encouraged to grow.
What families love about our Derby campus:
- Classical & Christian education taught “with the grain” of how children grow
- Small class sizes (ideal class size ~12 students)
- A strong focus on parent partnership
- Humanities-rich learning that fosters curiosity and lifelong learning
- A joyful, faith-centered school culture
We invite families to visit our Derby campus, tour classrooms, and learn more about our mission, curriculum, and community. Our admissions team is happy to answer questions and walk with you through the next steps.
High School — Wichita Campus
909 S. Market St, Wichita, KS
(Conveniently located in south central Wichita)

Highlights of our High School program:
- Classical education emphasizing reading, writing, discussion, and reasoning
- Participation in the Classical Learning Test (CLT) for college readiness
- College pathways, including opportunities to earn college credit
- An on-site CLEP testing center, allowing students to demonstrate college-level knowledge

Our Approach: Classical & Christian Education
Our Approach: Classical & Christian Education
At Concordia Academy, we believe education should follow the natural stages of learning:
- Grammar – building strong foundations and knowledge
- Logic – developing critical thinking and reasoning
- Rhetoric – learning to communicate ideas clearly and confidently
Grounded in Christian faith, this approach helps students grow not only academically, but as thoughtful, engaged individuals prepared for life.
Partnering with Parents
Partnering with Parents
Parents play a vital role in education, and at Concordia Academy, we take that seriously.
As our Headmaster shares:
“We feel like we work for the parents.”
We strive to:
- Maintain open communication
- Welcome parent involvement and questions
- Support families in the goals they have for their children
- Create a school culture built on trust and shared purpose
Affordable & Accessible Education
Affordable & Accessible Education
We believe a high-quality Classical & Christian education should be accessible. Our admissions team is glad to talk with families about tuition and available options.
If affordability is a question, please reach out — we’re happy to have the conversation.
