School Notes
- LACS offers a quality educational program, where the staff are Christians who are dedicated to God and teaching.
- LACS is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International(ACSI).
- It is our prayer that all students who attend LACS will seek to hide God's word in their hearts, so that it will light up their path through all of life.
- LACS utilizes a variety of Christian publications such as ABeka and Basic Christian Education (BCE) to meet the curriculum needs of the school. K4 through 8th grades are conducted in traditional classroom settings. K4 through 7th grade students are in combined classrooms (K4 &K5, 1st-2nd, 4th-5th, 6th-8th). High school students use the Pace system from BCE and work at their own pace but are closely supervised & monitored by their teacher to ensure they stay on track. Each high school student has 3-week work goals which correspond with 3-week grading periods.
