View 2024-25 lunch information HERE. 

View information here about the option to order lunch from Packed, a Lexington-based company, beginning on October 1. Check out the Packed website at lunchispacked.com.

A few things to keep in mind when ordering from Packed:
•    Packed subscriptions will be handled directly on the Packed site (lunchispacked.com) and will not be available for ordering from the LCA app or the FACTS Family portal. 
•    Packed lunches are actually subscriptions, so when a family buys a Packed lunch for their student to enjoy on Tuesday, it defaults to repeating each Tuesday. Parents can always change their order or pause/cancel. 
•    All Packed meal are made from scratch to order, so they don't have the capacity to handle last minute orders. Therefore, ordering cutoff is 8am Monday (the day BEFORE Packed lunch day). Parents can still skip and pause their order up until 8am the day of lunch, but they can't place new orders or change their menu selection beyond that Monday 8am timeframe.

Attention: Incoming 6th grade students are required to have an updated School Preventative Physical Exam and Immunization Certificate on file. See Kentucky Immunization Requirements for required immunization needed for students entering 6th grade as well as students who have recently turned 16.  

1. School Preventative Physical Exam (These are not the same as the sports physical exams).

2. Current Immunization Certificate  

A student enrolling at Lexington Christian Academy must provide proof of immunizations from the State of Kentucky as required by Kentucky Law. All required immunizations must be up-to-date. All forms must be completed and on file in the school office within two weeks of the beginning of school (WEDNESDAY, Aug. 28th) or the student will not be allowed to continue in-person education at school. The student will be allowed to return to school when all requirements are met. If you are not sure about the required immunizations, please check with your family doctor. Parents may also file a Religious Declination form. Click here for step-by-step instructions for completing a Religious Declination form. This is the required form and no other documentation can be accepted. Be advised that the "Kentucky immunization regulation does not permit philosophical exemptions to immunizations. Kentucky only has medical or religious exemptions to immunizations." 

A copy of the updated immunization and preventative exam forms can be faxed or emailed from your medical provider, or by you, to the attention of Nikki Gehring, Rose Campus Nurse for 6th-12 Grade, or Leslie Whitaker, IBC Campus Nurse for Preschool-5th. You can also email a copy to:

High School Course Requests FAQs

The course request process for the 2025-2026 academic year begins on Monday, February 3, with an information assembly for rising 10-12 grade students.

On Tuesday, February 4, students will receive a paper Course Request Form that lists their recommended core courses based on both application of the course prerequisites and their teacher's assessment of the course in which they expect to have the best chance of success.

Students will complete and return their signed Course Request Form to the High School office or their Bible class NO LATER THAN Tuesday, February 11. This form, signed by the student, approved by the parent and verified by the counselor and will be the basis of building the schedule.

Student schedules will be released one week before school begins.

Course Change Requests ("drop/add") may be made via a Course Change Request Form beginning the first day of fall classes through the first five days of the semester. 

• No course changes can be made between when Course Request Forms are submitted and the start of drop/add. 
• Be thoughtful and prayerful about your course requests as you are making a commitment to them which may not be possible to change later.

The High School Course Guide provides detailed descriptions of each course offered at LCA, including academic prerequisites and grade level restrictions. 

An abbreviated list of all courses available by grade level is on the back of each student's Course Request Sheet.

academic pathway = concentration of courses in a specific academic discipline which earns a student Pathway Endorsement on the diploma and recognition at graduation; see Course Guide for details on pathways

Academic Placement Waiver Request = formal request to have prerequisites waived by the school to allow placement in a more rigorous course; not required to move from an advanced course to a less rigorous course

alternate course = a course that differs from the course recommended by the school; enrollment is not guaranteed; an Academic Placement Waiver Request is required if requesting a more advanced course 

class capacity ("cap") = the LCA Board-approved maximum number of students permitted in an individual class/section to help maintain an ideal student:teacher ratio; current class capacity is 22; some room sizes allow for a capacity of 25 for select courses   

core course = English, math, science, social studies, world languages; at LCA, Bible courses are also considered core courses

Course Guide = annually published document which provides extensive information on course offerings, content descriptions, prerequisites, collegiate athletic eligibility requirements, recommended four-year academic plans and more

course length = all courses are either single-semester (0.5 credit) or full-year (1.0 credit) in length

course level = College Prep (CP) - foundational, on-grade course; Honors (H) - advanced academic rigor based on speed of content coverage, increased degree of content depth and higher standard of content mastery; Advanced Placement (AP) - college-level curriculum designed by the College Board for which a student may earn college credit based on an end-of-course national test; Dual Credit (DC) - college courses in which a student is accepted by and enrolled in a providing college or university and which earns both high school and college credit; typically, DC courses earn 3 college credits and, because they are completed in a single-semester timeline, earn 0.5 high school credit; Dual Credit Elective (DCE) - Dual Credit courses taken independently which do not fulfill a graduation requirement (elective) and do not factor into the Weighted Cumulative GPA (WCGPA) for the purposes of graduation honors

credit (cr) = unit earned by successful completion of coursework and which is multiplied by the numeric value of the grade earned in the grade point average (GPA); single-semester courses are 0.5 credit, full-year courses are 1.0 credit, AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics are 1.0 credit courses taught in a semester time frame

elective = non-core courses, specifically those in the art & humanities, business & law, technology & engineering

grade point average (GPA) = mathematical calculation based on a standard 4.0 scale (90-100/A=4.0, 80-89/B=3.0, 70-79/C=2.0, 65-69/D=1.0, 0-64/F=0.0)

graduation requirements = the total number of credits in each academic discipline required to earn a diploma; Bible=4, English=4, math=4, science=3, social studies=3, world languages=2, arts/humanities=1, health=0.5, physical education=0.5, public speaking=0.5, electives=3; Total=25.5

prerequisite = any requirement that must be met in order for a course to be available to the student; prerequisites may be limited to a specific grade level, the earned grade in a previous course or concurrent enrollment in a partner course in another academic discipline

quality points = bonus points factored into the GPA for advanced coursework; Honors +0.5 (A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, D=1.5), AP and DC +1.0 (A=5.0, B=4.0, C=3.0, D=2.0, AP F=0.0, DC F=1.0)

recommended course = the course that has been determined to be the best option based upon the academic record and teacher evaluation of student's ability to succeed; the default course that is next in the track sequence following the current course

weighted cumulative GPA (WCGPA) = GPA that includes ALL courses taken (excluding Dual Credit Electives) calculated with advanced courses awarded a higher value based on quality points

To be considered for an advanced course for which you were a) not recommended or b) do not meet the prerequisites you must submit an Academic Placement Waiver Request (links below). The APW request will be reviewed by the appropriate academic department. If approved, a conditional enrollment in the advanced course will be processed with the possibility that LCA will make an enrollment change, if necessary, based on academic performance.

2024-25 High School Course Guide

Students who do not meet the prerequisites or have not been recommended for advanced courses may submit a request to be approved for the course. The Academic Placement Waiver request will be reviewed by the student's counselor and the academic department. If approved, the student may be conditionally enrolled in the requested course. Continued enrollment is contingent upon successful academic performance in the course, which will be evaluated both within the first four weeks of the course and during the mid-year semester break. A hard copy of the waiver form is also available to pick up in the High School Office.

Students do not need to submit an Academic Placement Waiver to opt out of an advanced (Honors or AP) course and into a College Prep-level course.

LCA does not keep copies of high school diplomas in our archives as they are not legal or academic documents, but are rather a certificate of completion presented as a gift to the graduate. Official certification of your completion of the high school course of study at LCA is made only through the official transcript, which notes your date of graduation.

With College Board's move to computer-based testing in Fall 2023, LCA is no longer able to offer PSAT testing to non-LCA students.
