Welcome from the Head of School

Thank you for visiting our website. Canton Academy is located in one of the most populated regions of our state, and we are proud of our ability to continue to offer a small school atmosphere with a nurturing, Christian environment. 

Chances are you’ll quickly find that Canton Academy is what many people have called “the metro area’s hidden jewel.” Our mission statement declares, “With a bold vision for the future, Canton Academy exists to nurture heards and challenge minds in a Christ-centered environment.” Our goal is not to enroll every student available; instead, it is to thoughtfully invest in each child that becomes a part of the CA family. At the time of graduation, each Canton Academy student has been guided, challenged and prepared to pursue his or her dreams and embark on a successful future.

Everyone is someone at CA! We are a small, family environment where there is a place for everyone. Our low student-teacher ratio allows for our administration, faculty and staff to really know each student in order to foster motivation and excitement for his or her particular interests and abilities. Our alumni are proud and successful, and I am thankful that my son will one day be a Canton Academy graduate.

Sincerely,

Ryan Laster

Philosophy for Quality Education

The philosophy of Canton Academy is based on Christian principles and academic excellence. We believe that each student should have an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. It is our responsibility to provide students with varied learning experiences so that they may grow intellectually, socially, morally, and physically. The school shares with the home, church, and community the responsibility of providing each individual with the opportunity to make their best contribution to the society in which they live.

Canton Academy is accredited by the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools Accreditation Commission.
