Bay Ridge Christian Academy

I saw the above ad on Facebook and wondered, “Is the Bay Ridge Christian Academy in Bay Ridge?”

The answer is no. It’s close to Bay Ridge and looks like a very inviting and supportive environment for a child.

The Bay Ridge Christian Academy is on 7th Avenue and 64th Street. On the school’s website, it says it has been open since 1984! See the street view map – here (School Website here)

This used to be a Christian Center that held services and prayer groups. If you remember where Dunkin Donuts was on 7th Avenue and 64th Street, it was right across the street. It has a sign for world Harvest Community center and the school sign.
We drove by it today because I was expecting to see a huge school as this is a 3K to Grade 8 School. This school has small classes and it looks like there is only about 60 students in the school. (See photos). The children wear uniforms. (Photos)

Sadly, there is a lot of graffiti around this school and throughout Sunset Park.

The mural across the street from the school was destroyed and graffitied. This is how it used to look:
