[edit] History
Also called SCA and the Academy, Scottsdale Christian Academy was founded by Scottsdale Bible Church in 1968, with an enrollment of only 51 first through fourth grade students. In 1972, SCA became independent of Scottsdale Bible Church and became an Arizona non-profit organization. In 1973 the High School was added and enrollment increased to 275 students. In 1991, the school moved to its current location, a fourteen-acre campus on the southwest corner of Tatum Boulevard and Acoma Drive.
