Hours of Instruction

LCA students will receive 165 hours of instruction per course (credit), plus needed interventions.

Athletics
LCA recognizes the relationship between academics and athletics; regular exercise, skill development, and interscholastic athletic competition can play critical roles in each student’s growth. The primary  responsibility of student athletes is their education. LCA will guide its student athletes through the college athletics eligibility process.

LCA’s academic and sports programs will nurture integrity, pride, loyalty, and character while building school spirit. In addition, students will graduate from LCA, not only academically prepared for college study, but also with college credits in place that put them closer to achieving the four-year degree while engaging in athletics in college.

Whole School Educational Plan
LCA will engage students in rigorous, in-depth academic work requiring intellectual inquiry, creativity, and critical thinking. LCA will utilize differentiated teaching strategies to include lecture, hands-on activities, and project-based learning. However, LCA believes the most effective teaching strategy is to stop compartmentalizing education.

All teachers will work with students to address reading, writing, and math in all their courses. Reading and writing are not solely the English department’s responsibility, just as math deficiencies are not just addressed in math classes. Teachers will work together to address deficiencies as a school and support one another in addressing issues. In addition, project-based learning during the middle years will combine standards from every discipline including public speaking, which will help students understand why learning is vital to success in the 21st century.

School Structure
The school at full capacity will have 600 students in grades 9–12.

LCA will provide a variety of scheduling options on a “split” schedule (morning or afternoon sessions). Students attend classes in the morning or afternoon, which allows them to participate in athletics and/or extra-curricular activities, hold gainful employment, or attending to responsibilities in the non-classroom part of the day. In traditional high schools, athletes regularly end their school/practice day at 5 p.m. or later.  The uniqueness of our model is that it allows student athletes to finish practice earlier, which means they have more time at home for family and studies.

The split session model allows for more flexibility financially through facility and human resource savings.  Due to the model and the fact that students will be placed by readiness and ability, dividing students by class is not optimal.
