About LCA - Lexington Christian Academy

In June 1989, the vision of Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) became a reality. After months of discussion and prayers, The Academy and The Lexington Christian School merged.

The Academy served kindergarten-6th grade and The Lexington Christian School was a kindergarten-12th grade program. Both schools envisioned a pre-kindergarten-12th grade non-denominational, Christian school that would honor the Lord while providing the finest academic and extra-curricular programs. Both schools realized that by combining their efforts they would be able to serve more families in Central Kentucky seeking a Christ-centered education.

The founders of LCA recognized a true education provides curricular offerings to cultivate growth in the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, and creative areas of life.

Since its inception, LCA has provided an educational experience which prepares students not only in the classroom, but on the playing field, and stage, in chapels and retreats, and through leadership programs and outreach programs. By focusing on students’ minds, hearts, and bodies, LCA produces scholars that impact the world for Jesus Christ.

Beyond the Campus

Community Rooted in Christ

At LCA, we believe that because we are created in the image of a relational God, living in community is a vital part of who we are. Our school experience is intentionally designed to reflect the love of Christ through shared life, meaningful relationships, and joyful fellowship.

We strive to cultivate a culture where students, families, faculty, and staff come together in unity—encouraging one another and growing in faith. This Christ-centered community shines through in moments big and small, from the Back-to-School Eagle Bash and Grandparents Day to Parents in Prayer, Trunk or Treat, Donuts with Dad, and the Eagle Gala.

Our Mission & Vision

The Values That Shape Us

True education must be built on, centered in and continually judged by Christ and the Scriptures.

The Bible must serve as the basis upon which every course and every activity in the school is evaluated. The school’s worldview—basic beliefs, assumptions, values, priorities, and biases - must be firmly established upon the principles of God’s Word.

Bible instruction is integrated with every aspect of the student's educational experience.

In addition to attending daily Bible classes, LCA students encounter God’s truth. The Bible is the framework for character, attitude, and value development.

Parents are the first - and most important - teachers.

One of the principal needs of children is instruction. The Bible emphasizes the important role that parents play in providing that instruction. While others may teach, fathers and mothers have the prime responsibility. The partnership between the home and school establishes a strong foundation for the student’s success.

There is a commitment to excellence and innovation throughout out educational program offerings that maximally prepares our students for college and life.

LCA School System's curricular and instructional decisions are supported by research and reflective of best practices.

Students should have a wide range of educational opportunities available to them.

LCA believes that no student should have to take an academic penalty to receive a Christian education. As a result, LCA has made a long-term financial commitment to provide a full range of educational opportunities to its student body.

The Covenant That Unites Us

What Does It Mean to Be a Covenant Christian School?

LCA is committed to being a "covenant" Christian school. In biblical terms, a covenant was a binding agreement that defined a commitment or obligation between two parties.

At LCA, we strive to unite families and the school through a shared commitment to educate all students within the framework of a biblical worldview. This partnership is built on three key pillars: the parents, the local church, and the school.

Parents: We honor the role of parents as the primary educators and spiritual leaders of their children.
Church: We collaborate with the local churches to reinforce biblical values and discipleship.
School: We provide a rigorous, Christ-centered education that prepares students for life and leadership.

When the parents, the local church, and the school partner in educating children, we develop a vital relationship where students are supported, encouraged, and loved to go out and be Christ’s ambassadors in a broken world. If this vision resonates with you, we invite you to learn more about joining the LCA community.
