Central Arkansas Christian Schools (CAC) is a group of three private schools based in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. CAC was established in 1971 at Sylvan Hills Church of Christ in Sherwood and includes Central Arkansas Christian High School and two elementary schools: Pleasant Valley and North Little Rock Elementary. Together, they composed the state's second-largest combined private school in 1997. The schools are run by the Churches of Christ and are members of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
