Important Updates
Expanding our programs and services this year!
- In our third year of offering elective courses for students in grades 3-8 we have 13 courses, each for one quarter-year, including new courses in gardening, marine mammals, and rocketry
- Spanish for the higher grades is now fully conversational, with grammar imbedded
- More volunteers than ever – parents, friends, all vetted – help in classes and after-school clubs. We now have 9 once-weekly after-school clubs, with the new handball club joining engineering, math, board games, and more
- Our biggest transition: We are buying the wonderful Preston building that we’ve leased since 2012! Three banks have offered us mortgage terms for our selection. We have comprehensive plans for servicing the mortgage as we also build a future with more students and carefully planned remodeling.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our 2024-25 Annual Fund began on a great note. We share our goals, monetary and aspirational, with our LCA families, friends, Board, and corporate friends. Four LCA families have already donated gladly. 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 and with Cocatalyst.org for stock donations.
