Established in 1970, Centreville Academy seeks to encourage
each student to reach his/her full academic, athletic, and
spiritual potential by striving to provide a quality,
well-rounded education in a Christian environment. We offer programs for K5 through 12th
grade which include excellent academic programs as well as
extracurricular activities.
The elementary curriculum includes
Saxon math (K-6),
SRA reading
program, science hands-on laboratory experiments, social
studies, Mississippi history (grade 6), Health, Spelling, and
deportment. Elementary classes participate in the MAIS's
annual art and spelling bee contests, the Accelerated Reader program, the
Presidential Physical Fitness program, St. Jude's Math-a-thon
and Jump Rope for Heart,
Christmas programs, and Field Day programs.
The high school curriculum expands the curriculum instituted
in elementary. The English program continues the AR
program and adds literature, writing, speech, and grammar.
The math curriculum continues with the
Saxon math program. The seventh and eighth grade math
students compete in a program at Southwest Mississippi Community
College sponsored by the MS Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The science program integrates
knowledge of science with the ability to experiment.
Beginning in
the 7th grade, all students enrolled in a science course
present a Science Fair project. Participants
compete at the school, district, and state levels. Students in
grades 7 - 12 may also participate in the Quiz Bowl.

college credits before they graduate through two programs - Dual
