We aim to graduate young men and women who think clearly and listen carefully

with discernment and understanding; who reason persuasively and articulate precisely; who are capable of evaluating their entire range of experience in the light of the Scriptures; and who do so with eagerness in joyful submission to God.  We desire them to recognize cultural influences as distinct from biblical, and to be unswayed towards evil by the former.  We aim to find them well prepared in all situations, possessing both information and the knowledge of how to use it.  We desire they be socially graceful and spiritually gracious; equipped with and understanding the tools of learning; desiring to grow in understanding, yet fully realizing the limitations and foolishness of the wisdom of this world.  We desire they have a heart for the lost and the courage to seek to dissuade those who are stumbling towards destruction; that they distinguish real religion from religion in form only; and that they possess the former, knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ.  All these we desire them to possess with humility and gratitude to God.

We aim to cultivate these same qualities in our staff and to see them well paid so that they may make a career at LCA.  We desire them to be professional and diligent in their work, gifted in teaching, loving their students and their subjects.  We desire they clearly understand classical education, how it works in their classroom and how their work fits into the whole; that they possess a lifelong hunger to learn and grow; and that they have opportunity to be refreshed and renewed.  We desire to see them coach and nurture new staff and to serve as academic mentors to students.  We look to see them mature in Christ, growing in the knowledge of God, their own children walking with the Lord.

We aim to cultivate in our parents a sense of responsibility for the school; to see them well informed about the goals of our classical and Christ-centered approach.  We desire them to grow with the school, involved in and excited about the journey.  We aim to help them to follow biblical principles in addressing concerns, to be inclined to hearing both sides of a story before rendering a verdict, and to embrace the Scripture's injunctions to encourage and stir up one another to love and good works.

Finally, in our relationship with our community, we aim to be above reproach in our business dealings and supportive of the local business community.  We further seek to exemplify the unity of the body of Christ, to develop greater fellowship and understanding with the churches, and to bring honor to our Lord in all our endeavors.

It is our heartfelt desire to help parents in their God given responsibility to educate their children.  We feel this can be accomplished through a cooperative effort by providing a Christ centered, Biblically based academy using the classical Christian methodology for teaching. Beginning small and currently working out of the Island Alliance Church building with grades K - 11, along with a staff of committed volunteers and scheduled parental aids.  We are actively seeking the support of the local churches both spiritually and organizationally so we may offer this academy to local families at an affordable rate.  Finances would be realized through tuition's, fund raising and donations.  We opened September 5th, 2001, with grades K to Sixth at the Island Alliance Church building operating Monday through Friday during the normal school year September through May.

We envision the growth to be rapid at the onset considering testimonies from other Christian schools and the need that has presented itself from the massive numbers of local Christian families transporting their children long distances to accommodate this much needed educational institution.  Looking into the future, we envision the development of a larger facility and/or facilities to support grades K - 12 with a staff of professional educators, administrators and support personnel along with having a Principal to direct day-to-day administration
