GLORIFYING GOD
We seek to glorify God in all of our activities, relationships, and stewardship of His resources.
PARTNERSHIP
We view the education of children as a partnership between parents and the academy.
TRUTH
We acknowledge absolute truth, as revealed in God’s Word and His creation.
RESPECT
Each person is created in God’s image and will therefore be treated with respect.
EXCELLENCE
Continuous improvement and the pursuit of excellence underlies all that we do.
HONESTY
Our relationships and academic performance will be based on honesty and executed in fairness.

Known and loved.
Integral to the growth of our students is the opportunity to explore faith, and understand God’s role in their lives. Our students explore many different avenues of spiritual growth as they learn to:
Understand Biblical narrative
Apply Scripture to their daily lives
Cultivate the fruit of the Spirit
Lead others in worship and service
We exist to educate young men and women in the arts and sciences in the context of a complete commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
SCHOOL LIFE
LCA is where creativity, kindness, and academic strength come together. Within our walls, students learn respect for themselves and one another, and create meaningful friendships that will carry well beyond their years here.
We celebrate diversity, accomplishments big and small, and all of the pieces that make a whole person. We thrive on the things that make us unique.
At LCA, our students discover WHO they are and HOW the learn.
