In August 1978, through generous gifts, diligent prayer and hard work, the financing needed to secure the Kentucky Country Day facility became available, and the first school in our system was created. In August 1978, Rock Creek opened with an enrollment of 326 students, serving grades 1-9. 10th grade was added in fall 1979, 11th grade in fall 1980, and in the spring of 1982, Christian Academy of Louisville celebrated its first graduating class. Many thought it would never be possible, but as we all know and have witnessed, when God decides to move, even the mountains step aside.
