Founded on June 23, 1946, Lexington Christian Academy is a college preparatory boarding school for 350 boys and girls in grades six through twelve.

The current head of school, John Khouri, was appointed in 2024, after a 1-year interim term served by James Talkington.

With the help of local evangelical leaders such as Harold John Ockenga and T. Leonard Lewis, President of Gordon College, Miss Evans proceeded with the plans to start a secondary school.

Under the leadership of Miles Strodel, assistant headmaster, the board started to consider a move to Lexington, Massachusetts.

A key concern in making this move was access to the MBTA so that teens who lived in Boston would be able to attend the school.
