Six years ago, founders Meg Gonda and Kealy White were both looking for educational options for their growing families. In the midst of their searching, God made it clear that He was calling them to start the kind of school they were looking for.

As they began to pursue this call, the vision became clear that families of Greater Waterbury needed something more than just another high-quality, private school. They believed that God’s heart was also to provide students recurring opportunities to impact the communities around them as part of their learning. In 2019, Impact Christian Academy was founded and thus began to unfold the design of community service-oriented private education that supports Christian families.

This year, the Lord made it clear that the name would become the mission, and “Impact Christian Academy” would now be known as “City Mission Schools.” As the school develops further into God’s design, our staff is excited for the future, both in academics and city-wide outreach.
