Our mission is to partner with parents in Christian community to transform lives. We aim to support families in building “Warriors for Christ,” nurturing a generation with a resolve to love God, love others, and love learning.
We are excited that you are exploring our website to learn more about our school. LCA is a hybrid-model school that blends a traditional school model with parent-led education, resulting in the best of both worlds. Our high calling is to educate our students from a Christian worldview, utilizing our academic curriculum, athletic teams, fine arts programs, and student leadership opportunities to disciple our students in their walk with Christ. Our alumni frequently comment on how LCA’s university-style schedule prepares them for the rigor and time management expectations of college.
Our specific purpose is to serve families who desire not simply a private education, but a distinctively Christian education for their children. We seek families who are like-minded spiritually; who are aligned with our philosophy, objectives, and standards of education; and whose children meet our enrollment criteria. As you explore our school, please familiarize yourself with our policies, procedures, and expectations for both parents and students in our Partner’s Handbook, including our Statement of Faith and our Statement on Marriage and Human Sexuality.
Lucas Christian Academy unashamedly believes, teaches, and practices a literal interpretation of the inspired and inerrant Word of God. Biblical principles are integrated into every subject taught at our school. Our staff is committed not only to academic excellence, but also to teaching students how to apply the truth of God’s Word to every aspect of life. If that is the type of education you desire for your children, we hope you will set up an appointment to visit us in person!
Come find out what it’s like to be a part of building “Warriors for Christ” in this wonderful community. You will be glad you did, and we will be a richer community for having you!
Grace and Peace,
Joseph A. Walker, Ed.D.

Core Values
LCA recognizes the family as the primary educational and social unit. We respect the primacy of that institution by partnering with parents, not supplanting them, in the academic and spiritual education of their children. Practically speaking, LCA will be primary as it pertains to academics, handling classroom instruction, assignments, and assessments. Parents support the teachers by ensuring that satellite school days (days spent working at home) are successful by maintaining an atmosphere of study and following the parental roles as outlined in this handbook. Additionally, parents will be primary as it pertains to the spiritual development of their student(s) by belonging to a local body of believers and teaching the Word of God in their home. LCA will support the spiritual development of students by providing biblical instruction and character training.
Partnering with parents to educate, train, and nurture their children
LCA fosters opportunities for authentic relationships in all of its endeavors. Parents must agree to become part of the LCA community before their children are accepted for admission. Community requires commitment and responsibility; therefore, families agree to attend fellowships, workshops, and abide by our communication guidelines prior to being admitted to the LCA family. Elementary students build community through chapel services and occasional social gatherings planned by grade-level social coordinators. Because LCA believes that young children should be socialized primarily by the family unit, LCA limits the number of activities planned for the elementary grades. Our junior high and high school students are trained to build and maintain authentic relationships during chapel, small group interaction, and a student-led service. Additionally, students are given leadership opportunities through our Department of Student Life, including the following: serving in student government, planning a retreat, or participating in a service project.
Fostering opportunities for authentic relationships
The ability to discern truth stems from being connected to the source of truth. Those who are connected have renewed minds. In order for lives to be truly transformed, the mind must be transformed; therefore, all high school students gain their English and history credits through a four-year worldview program.
Interpreting life and learning through a biblical framework of truth
Is LCA right for my family?
I love the teenagers at LCA.
They think about more than themselves and how to serve others.
We have people at the school who are incredible experts in their field and it's because God brought them here.
My children are in an environment where they can flourish and have support of a community that believes in them.
Christ is woven into my children’s education and is displayed through the teachers with Christ-like love.
We wanted biblical teaching and the ability to be involved. LCA is an amazing combination of traditional and homeschool.
Watching students grow in Christ and transform into missionary leaders who understand their calling puts the wind in my sails.
The LCA community is an extended family that has celebrated and grieved our life's biggest moments throughout the last 20 years.
