We switched from public school to LCA and are grateful for the experience. Our children have received a better education than they received at public school and in a much better environment - not only are other students respectful during class but teachers care about the well being of the students. Our kids are very athletic and we have one that is attending a D2 school on athletic scholarship and our other children are competing in sports and getting play time and those sports that LCA does not offer, like Lacrosse, they are able to play through our neighborhood high school. We have been very pleased with our experience here. read more

Would give zero stars if I could. Please don't send your kids to this school. The teachings do not reflect the Bible and represent hateful, discriminatory views. If you don't want to cause trauma to your kids, don't send them to Life Christian. As a former "lifer" and one of the few student athletes to go on to play D1 sports, and someone who's family has been a large part of the church for 4 generations, I can speak with certainty the trauma this place causes. I've watched it decline more and more since I graduated. The grade level education does not meet the level of education at public schools and especially does not compete with other private schools. Many students who left Life Christian felt under prepared at other schools because of the gap in education. Math and science programs are purposely under funded. The nepotism, rampant misogyny and over sexualization of young women, and unhealthy power dynamics should send any parent running from this institution. read more

We are thankful to be able to have our child attend LCA. This is her 2nd year in the preschool and the experience has been wonderful. Her teachers have been kind, helpful and have made learning fun. She wakes up excited to go to school and is learning so much. read more

Greatness of staff . Concern for students education and personal growth! Feeling that it's a safe and positive environment.

I attended this school from sixth grade until I graduated from high school. My mom chose this school because we had family friends from our church who attended and she was scrambling to get us into a school after a decision to move states fell through. There were some thoughtful, kind, supportive staff and faculty - they've largely left the school or been pushed by the wayside to make room for those who often have no credentials to teach but hold the line on their staunchly conservative religious beliefs. There are good students there, but they exist in that environment in spite of the school and not because of it. I, myself, was an incredibly invested student while I was there. If you pick up a yearbook from any of the years of my attendance you can see me on many club pages serving in leadership roles, service roles, in the arts, in student government, etc. etc. I knew my academic record and involvement would be my ticket out. As I was entering middle school, my mother hoped she was putting me in a place that would become my community and support Christian values. I don't think she would say that's what the school stands for now - much to her and my disappointment. There are numerous ways this school is not worth the investment of your money and time for the education of your children. It ranges from sexist and nonsensical dress code policies, poor monetary investments in outdated technologies that don't reflect the needs of students, to actively encouraging enrollment for the purpose of children gathering in-person, maskless during the early parts of COVID, and being a generally unsafe and unwelcome place to those who don't fit their mold. Am I being too ambiguous? In high school, students jumped up from their seats to protest the points I made in an assigned debate regarding the validity of a mosque "existing near Ground Zero" (aka in Manhattan). They would jeer at one religion practicing the same freedom a private Christian school takes advantage of every day. In our Christian ethics class, 18-year-old women would leave the class in tears each year due to scare tactics used by teachers to explain abortion methods (this reaction would happen regardless of those women's personal beliefs surrounding abortion - the point was more to intimidate them around a medical practice.) Female faculty knew that the only way to get their ideas heard by administration at the school was to have their male colleagues present their ideas. The list could go on. Most recently, this school has chosen to bury its head in the sand rather than have an honest conversation with one of its alumni about the chance for her marriage to be honored on their alumni page. Her story doesn't look like the stories they like to post - she's spoken out about her negative experiences at this school and the treatment she's received from its larger community since she's come out and, recently, married her wife. It takes so little effort to be inclusive, to champion the students who called your halls home for many years, to say we honor our alumni as they honored us with their time and efforts at this school. But they can't do that. They have no idea how to function as a diverse body of believers (and non-believers) who come together in pursuit of education. No, they function more similarly to a cult - they espouse a narrow set of misguided beliefs that they seek to enforce on all who would enter their spaces (online or otherwise) and to demean and shut out all those who don't, erasing their presence entirely. Where there is no room for diversity of experience, thought, or creed, there is only stagnation. If I have children some day, I hope they grow up to know the vast diversity of cultures, backgrounds, stories, walks of life, etc. that this world has to offer - if I'm reading the Bible I got from this school right, they are ALL made in his image and therefore worthy of love and respect. But they certainly will not encounter the practice of that biblical teaching at this school. read more

My three kids all graduated from LCA and my three grandkids are there now. The teachers are wonderful and the Administration is always attentive to parents concerns. My kids were well prepared for University and more importantly were taught with a Biblical World View. A smaller school gives kids the ability to join many sports and extra curricular activities. I highly recommend! read more

We love LCA! my family is so thankful for the teachers, principals and staff at LCA! my kids are supported, treated fairly and genuinely cared for! I know the education they are receiving is top notch. I also love the music and sports programs. read more

We have had a great experience with Life Christian Academy. They offer before and after school care and the teachers have been so wonderful!

Life Christian Academy has been a warm, loving environment for our family. My husband is an alumni and we have two kids in their early childhood program - kindergarten and preschool. The teachers and staff are communicative, caring and kind. School communication to parents is top notch with regular emails about wellness, safety, curriculum and volunteer opportunities. It's very important to us to raise our children in a Christian environment. LCA is a great school with a great philosophy for raising children to love and follow Jesus. I've never felt excluded from my children's learning or that I couldn't know what was going on in the classroom. We are thankful for LCA, especially these last two years as they fought to accommodate both in-person and remote learning options to keep our kids in school, engaged, socialized and from falling behind. Go Eagles! read more

I went to this school from pre-school to 8th grade. Once I hit the older grades, I felt so alone and out of place. No child should have to feel like they don't belong to their own school because of the way they look or their parents finances. Please don't send your child to this toxic environment. read more

The school is filled with amazing teachers and staff. We could not feel more at peace with our decision to send our kids here. They have great academics and opportunities. Grateful for LCA and the community! read more

This is my sons first year of preschool and he Is absolutely loving it. I thought I was going to be getting calls to come pick him up since he's had a hard time socializing but the teachers have really helped him open up, and for that I am thankful. I love all the staff I was interacted with. read more

We love Life Christian so much. I have never felt so secure knowing my daughter is cared for and taken care of. She even begs to stay at after school she enjoys it so much. Thank you, LCA, for investing in our daughter in so many different realms, not just academics. read more
