Eterna Academy classroom

A City Impact Initiative · Launching in Augusta

Something Augusta has been waiting for.

Eterna Christian Academy

For too long, families have had to choose between an education that challenges their children academically and one that shapes them spiritually.

Faith · Knowledge · Excellence

Middle school is the pivot point.

It is the season where conviction is either formed or eroded — where a child's sense of self is shaped by the loudest voice in the room.

Augusta deserves a school that refuses to flinch from rigor and refuses to compromise on formation. A place where children are taught to think deeply, write clearly, study Scripture, and carry themselves with conviction.

We are not building a school for everyone. We are building the school this generation of Augusta families has been praying for.

"
The choice between rigor and reverence has always been a false one. Our children deserve both — without apology.
— J. Michael Sherman, Founder

A school designed for the whole child.

01

Grades 6–8

A focused middle school program designed for the most formative years.

02

Faith-Integrated Academics

Scripture and classical learning woven into every subject, not appended to it.

03

Founding Cohort

An intentionally small first class — chosen for purpose, not enrollment quotas.

04

Kingdom Identity

Students formed to know who they are before the world tells them who to be.

05

Covenant Community

Parents, teachers, and mentors aligned around a shared vision of formation.

06

A City Impact Initiative

Anchored to a CDC committed to long-term community renewal in Augusta.

We are not looking for students.
We are looking for founders.

Eterna's first class will be built family by family — parents who want to help shape the culture, not merely consume the product.

Founding Enrollment

Limited to 24 Founding Seats

Our inaugural class is intentionally small. Eight students per grade across grades 6–8 — a cohort built for depth, not scale.

The Ideal Family

Families of conviction

Parents who treat their child's formation as a calling. Families willing to partner with teachers, sit in the work, and steward the vision alongside us.

Location

Augusta, Georgia

Our campus will serve families across the Augusta metro and CSRA region. Site details will be released to founding families first.

Application

Interest opens this season

Founding families will be selected through conversation, not paperwork. Reach out and begin the dialogue.

Begin the Conversation

Eterna Christian Academy is a community-funded launch.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward securing space, retaining faculty, and providing scholarship for founding families.

Launch Goal

$148,500 of $250,000

59% raised toward our founding-year operating fund.

We are building a school that our grandchildren will inherit — and a city that will know their names.
