Ross County Christian Academy is gearing up for a second year of operation and hopes to expand services.

Although the academy still hopes to have a permanent home of its own one day, Brookside Church on Egypt Pike has agreed to allow the academy to operate there again for the 2008-09 school year, said Mike MacCarter, co-director of the academy.

The school serves students in kindergarten through sixth grade, but if enrollment warrants it, the academy will expand to include seventh grade in 2008-09. Also, an interest survey has been distributed to the academy's endorsing churches to determine if there enough families interested in preschool to create a preschool program at the academy.

Beginning next school year, MacCarter said the academy hopes it will be approved as a state charter school.

"They have some regulations with curriculum, which we're doing most of those already," MacCarter said.
