School Tours

Please contact the school office to schedule a tour of our beautiful campus by clicking the button below. During the tour one of our staff will lead you around the school in a casual setting. We encourage visiting parents and students to observe a sampling of curriculum. Meet our dedicated teachers and your child’s potential new classmates!

Shadow Day

Christian Academy of Laurel welcomes students who are currently in 3rd grade or above to shadow with a current student to visit for part or all of a typical school day as you consider becoming part of the CAL community. Spending time in classes helps students and their families determine if the curriculum is a good fit. We strongly recommend that parents complete a tour or attend an open house event prior to their child's shadow day!

You should receive a notification from FACTS informing you that your account has been completely set up and that you can view the payment plan details.
