Welcome To
Las Cruces Academy
Building a firm future: We are proceeding with buying the fine building we have rented since 2012. We expect that our purchase will close on or about July 31, 2025! Our financial support for this and for our fine programs comes from tuition — that is, our loyal famliies — and from diverse donations of funds and labor of all kinds. Thank you!
Please enjoy a look at scenes from the first month of our 15th year of classes.
and a movie with even more clips and tales.
Our abundant news is available in many individual posts; please enjoy it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our 2024-25 Annual Fund finished on a great note. We share our goals, monetary and aspirational, with our LCA families, friends, Board, and corporate friends. Sixteen LCA families donated gladly, along with friends, businesses, and the Board. The Fund is used toward accreditation and a capital fund, and we have made recent investments in improving our programs. Find out more about our matching fund! We now are registered as well with Benevity.com for corporate matching donations.
We’re pleased to offer the story of how we’re supported by income as tuition and cash donations and, to a remarkable extent, by volunteer labor. We encourage all our LCA families and friends to pitchin with us. Thanks!
