REGISTER FOR STANDARDIZED TESTING
LCA requires that students submit standardized test scores as a part of the application process. Good News! LCA is an SSAT TESTING SITE!
Be sure to have the scores sent to LCA. Our School Code is 4612.
*Middle school (6th-8th) applicants can take the ISEE or SSAT.
REGISTER FOR AN OPEN HOUSE!
The best way for a student to get to know LCA is to come and see us in person! There are a few different Open Houses, each designed to give you a taste of LCA at a time that will fit your schedule! If you can not make an Open House, or want to get in the door a little sooner, we’d love to give you a tour! Schedule a meeting with one of our admissions counselors to find a time to come visit us!
- October 1
REGISTER FOR A STUDENT EXPERIENCE DAY!
Student Experience Days are now closed. Request to meet with an admissions counselor if you have questions!
We want you to experience what sets LCA apart! Come spend a morning with one of our students and get to know this place a little better! You’ll meet your buddy, visit classes, get to know a few teachers, and have a firsthand look at our campus.
*This is a required part of the application process.
- November 1
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS OPEN
At LCA, tuition alone does not cover the full cost to educate a student. The excellence your child experiences each day is made possible by a community of generosity, vision, and faithful stewardship.
Here’s how we make it possible, and how we continue to grow:
Endowment: LCA’s scholarship program is sustained by our endowment, built over time through the generosity of hundreds of donors who believed in making Christ-centered education accessible for future generations.
Campus Stewardship: Thanks to donor-funded capital improvements, we steward our campus year-round (with summer camps, rentals, and partnerships) that generate auxiliary income to help fund financial aid.
Annual Investment in the Strategic Plan: Philanthropic support helps close the gap between what it costs to educate and what it takes to grow. This investment is what turns a great year into an extraordinary one—expanding programs, supporting faculty, and driving forward our strategic vision.
________________________________
*All Financial Aid is awarded during the priority application season. We strongly suggest completing this financial aid form as soon as possible as remaining aid is first come first serve.
*Limited merit-based scholarships are awarded to new LCA families. No additional form or application is needed to be considered for scholarships.
