Thanks for taking the time to explore Concordia Academy-Bloomington
Dear Friends of
Concordia Academy-Bloomington,
Many of you know that the Concordia Academy Executive Council has reached the
very difficult decision to close CA-Bloomington after the 2008-09 school year.
For the last six months the Council wrestled with the combination of increased
operating expenses, falling enrollment, and, more recently, the overall economic
outlook. Facing these very significant challenges, the Council felt it had the
fiduciary and stewardship responsibility to make this decision sooner rather
than later so we could do everything possible to help students and staff make
a smooth transition to the next academic year.
For the remainder of 2008-09 we are going to work to support our staff in making
this the best possible year for our students and staff. We will continue our
regular fund-raising efforts to support the annual operating budget. Projects
by Boosters and PFA are an important part of our fund-raising, and we sincerely
want those to continue this year. The pledges that individuals make to the annual
fund and to last spring’s campaign are still important as we take care
of our obligations to our faculty and staff and to the daily needs of running
the school.
Sometimes the path of life is not the one we would have chosen or prayed for.
One thing is certain: God is faithful and will continue to lead us. Continue
to keep the school, its faculty and staff, and the students in your prayers in
the coming weeks and months.

Of course, a school is more than just a building. A school is built on relationships – among
students, between teachers or staff and students, within the parents that share
so much with each other and their children, and between alumni, supporters and
the school. A school is a community. And when that school is built around the
foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is forever a community of believers.
We thank you for your many years of support of Lutheran High and CA-Bloomington.
This community is second to none in its love for Christ and dedication to Christ’s
ministry in our Lutheran schools.
Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for
He who promised is faithful.” The work begun at Lutheran High School and
Concordia Academy-Bloomington will continue to bear fruit for the Kingdom. To
God be the glory for His faithfulness.
In His Service,
Lynn
Henry
Chief Administrative Officer
Concordia Academy Association of Schools

ACT Scores Rise Above the Pack.
CA-Bloomington is proud to be a school where sharing the love of Christ on
a daily basis is valued and students are given numerous opportunities to grow
as athletes, musicians, and actors through fine arts and athletics. However,
we are also proud that our students shine academically, and recent ACT scores
show that to be true. Last year, our scores were, as always, at or well above
state averages. Check out ACT scores for 2007-2008 (with state averages indicated
