Slavic Christian Academy is a private bilingual Christian K-8 in Vancouver, Washington, founded in 2003 to serve the large Pacific Northwest Russian-speaking immigrant community — families with roots in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova who settled in Clark County and the broader Portland-Vancouver area. The Vancouver site is paired with a sibling campus across the river in Portland.
The school occupies a category that doesn't have a real Washington peer. It uses the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum with intensive bilingual Russian-English instruction in the elementary grades, transitioning primarily to English by 4th grade. The closest functional comparisons are other heritage-language Christian schools serving immigrant communities (the Korean church-affiliated schools in Bellevue, the various Spanish-bilingual programs in Yakima Valley) — but none specifically serve the Slavic immigrant community at this scale, and ACE curriculum is uncommon among Washington's better-known Christian schools.
Enrollment runs around 235-251 students K-8 with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio. The school's value proposition is heritage-language preservation, religious formation in the Slavic Evangelical tradition, and a community institution for newcomer families — rather than competing on academics with the secular or larger Christian schools in the Vancouver area. Graduates typically route into Vancouver-area public high schools or the larger evangelical Christian high schools (Vancouver Christian, King's Way) for grades 9-12.
