What Makes Lakeland Unique?
Lakeland
Christian Academy works with each student academically, as well as spiritually.
All LCA faculty members are professing Christians and hold either
bachelor’s degrees or higher. All
Board members and employees are professing born-again believers.
Lakeland
receives no monetary assistance from the federal or state governments for its
operational expenses. All monies
used for the operation of the school are received from student tuition, monetary
gifts, and grants.
Students are
expected to follow an established set of guidelines for the purpose of training
and discipline. These guidelines
include standards for personal behavior and dress.
Students are expected to show respect for each other and for those in
authority. The adopted dress
standard is designed to teach students acceptable standards of modesty and
decorum.
When working
with students, LCA seeks to find the source of a problem rather than merely
treating the symptoms. This is done
by personal concern in solving problems, working closely with parents, and by
seeking God’s wisdom.
LCA believes
that each student is a unique individual, created in God’s image, for the
purpose of glorifying God. Lakeland’s
goal is to help students develop their abilities to fulfill that purpose.
Lakeland
Christian Academy believes that, by the cooperative effort of the home, church,
and school, each student is better able to achieve his/her full potential.
These three entities: home, church, and school are necessary to prepare
the student with security, spiritual development, and academic growth.
All Lakeland families are expected to regularly attend a local Bible-believing church. LCA students are also expected to regularly attend Sunday School and church youth activities and/or have some ministry within their church, when possible.
Lakeland
Christian Academy believes that God has given parents the responsibility to
teach and train their children. LCA
assists parents by working closely with them in this process.
