# Seacoast Christian Academy

Seacoast Christian Academy is a private Christian school located in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Seacoast Christian Academy serves students in prekindergarten through grade 12.

Seacoast is currently housed in two campuses in the Arlington area of Jacksonville, Florida. Its preschool and elementary buildings, located off the Arlington Expressway. The high school building, located off the Arlington Expressway, has a computer lab, dance studio, art room, chapel, science lab, and large classrooms.

## Curriculum

The high school curriculum is college preparatory focused; several Advanced Placement courses and a dual enrollment program at the South Campus of Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) are available to students. Seacoast is also accredited through the Association of Christian Schools International.

## Extracurricular activities

Student activities include dance, drama and music, that are showcased in a performance during the school year at the FSCJ Wilson Center for the Arts. Seacoast's sports teams, known as the Eagles, compete in baseball, softball, women and men's basketball, and volleyball, in the Florida Christian Athletic League. In 2010, Seacoast Christian Academy's high school formed a football team. Former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Damon Jones (American football) coached the team. The sports scene declined from 2019 to 2021 as there was not enough interest for some sports. In 2022, after four years, baseball was brought back to the school and Seacoast hosted its first soccer team in September 2021. Volleyball and softball are also sports of interest In winter 2022, the 2021-2022 Seacoast Student Council presented the idea of bringing football back to the school. This is currently an idea at this time.

## Future plans

In 2010, Seacoast board of directors announced plans for a major high school campus expansion. Which would include adding a gymnasium, a classroom wing, and softball, baseball, football, and soccer fields. During that same time, the school expects enrollment to rise to around 550 students. Construction has not yet begun. With the development in the surrounding area of the school, it seems that this may not become a reality unless acted upon soon, but available space has decreased dramatically as of March 2022.
