Core Values:

EXCELLENCE
Our primary responsibility is the development of students spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically. Students will learn, grow, and flourish in a Christ-centered environment of excellence that encourages reaching their unique potential (Philippians 1: 9-11).

FAITH
Our primary goal is to honor and glorify God by integrating scripture into all aspects of the school’s program in order forstudents to consistently apply God’s Word as they interact in the world (Proverbs 3:13; 4:5; Proverbs 4:20-21, Romans 12:2, 11; I Colossians 1:16 -17; John 1:3).

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
We are dedicated to fostering character and behavior that honors God by earnestly seeking to embody the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We strive to exceed expectations in maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in all aspects of our work (Galatians 5: 22-23; 2 Corinthians 8:21; James 3:17; Colossians 3:23).

COMMUNITY
Building, enhancing, and maintaining community are integral to all aspects of school life. We promote strong relationships with each other and all stakeholders through respect and acceptance of one another. We embrace and encourage parent participation and open communication between the school and the home (Psalm 133:1; I Peter 3:8; Ephesians 4:3).

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
LCA strives to create lifelong students who love learning and accept the challenge of progressing beyond what they already know. We desire for students to be resilient in developing skills, facing hardships, pursuing passions, enhancing creative competence, and connecting with one another by using their God-given gifts to edify each other and model academic excellence and persistence (Romans 12:6; Ephesians 2:10; James 1:17; 1 Peter 4:10). 

Educational Philosophy:
At LCA, we firmly uphold the unchanging truths of the Holy Bible as our foundation, guiding every aspect of life and learning while shaping our educational approach entirely. Within this framework, students are nurtured individually to develop their full intellectual, spiritual, physical, emotional, and social capacities, all aimed toward the ultimate goal of glorifying God through their lives.
