When thinking about LCA, finish this sentence, "This is where...": We chose for our own children to attend junior high and high school when we moved here from Texas. We chose LCA because it is a place where students are loved and nurtured.

Why do you choose to work at LCA? I choose to teach at LCA because I value relationships that are built on Christian values. This is evident in and out of the classroom. LCA is a family and as a family we laugh, love and cry together. I love that I get to partner with parents to help nurture and equip their child(ren) while teaching them about the love of Jesus. 5th grade is a joyous year when we see so much spiritual growth. It is such a blessing to be a small part of each child's life.

What do students get at LCA that they won't get somewhere else? LCA students are provided a safe, nurturing environment while obtaining a quality Christian education through Biblical integration.
