At LCA, the Bible is the bedrock of who we are as a school and the foundation for all other disciplines. Our Bible curriculum equips our students with a biblical worldview, a lens, not only through which to view all other disciplines or topics, but a foundation upon which to build their life. All LCA students have dedicated Bible classes, weekly chapels, daily prayer, and biblically immersed subject matter across all domains.

Our students learn how to use technology proficiently, without relying on it as the main mode of learning. By using technology as a tool instead of depending on it, we find our students engaging with others deeply and thinking critically. LCA students will not be assigned a personal device, but they are available for teachers to use as a supplement to traditional “paper & pencil” learning.

At LCA, we are not immune to discipline issues because we all have a sinful nature. The difference is how we are able address and correct these behaviors. We follow the Matthew 18 policy, finding the root issue of the behavior, seeking forgiveness, and always pointing students back to Christ when we handle disciplinary issues.

As a parent, God instructs you to educate your child well. We are privileged to provide that education and be In loco parentis or “in the place of the parents” during the school day. We view this as a partnership and we desire to reflect the values taught in your home. When issues arise, as they will, it is our goal to communicate well and work toward a healthy resolution that follows the Matthew 18 principal. We value the relationship with our parents and invite you to volunteer and serve within the school.

We understand that learning does not just happen in the classroom. We offer opportunities for our students to be involved in activities that stretch their minds and skills. Below are some of the opportunities we typically offer, though they can vary from year to year: Band Choir Student Worship Arts Team Theatre Technical Theatre Spanish Club Bible Quizzing Team National Honors Society Self Defense Athletics Cheerleading Fellowship of Christian Athletes Right to Life Club

We believe learning outside of the classroom is an important part of exposing children to the world around them. We are pleased to offer several annual field trips starting as young as Kindergarten and concluding with a meaningful senior mission trip.

We offer several options for our High School students to take accelerated courses. We have a variety of AP and Dual Credit class options, and we have additional opportunities to pursue college courses in partnership with Grace College and online. We also offer seniors the opportunity to pursue an internship to gain experience and exposure to an industry in partnership with a local company or non-profit.

We strive to meet the various needs of student populations. We value diversity and respect individual student learning differences, and we believe that each student is made in the image of God and is deserving of respect and support. Because of this, we will be honest about the ways in which we can or cannot service your child. We do offer special education services in a limited capacity. We know that we do not have the resources to provide support to every student. We want to have a conversation on how we can partner with you.

From our youngest learners to our high school students, movement is incorporated throughout the day. At younger ages, they participate in Minds in Motion and a movement maze while our older students practice dance and mixed martial arts. This intentional movement improves attention spans, decreases behavior issues, and stimulates the vestibular system to engage the brain for learning at all ages.

We offer before and after care for all grades for $6/hour.
