Academic Policies, Learning Guidelines & Philosophy Statement
Education gives children the opportunity to learn from great minds of the past (e.g. Aristotle, Thomas Jefferson, Galileo, and others). When understood, this gift allows students to create a better future for themselves and the world they live in.
Quality education should embrace and magnify a child’s innate curiosity to learn. LPA strives to provide a strong foundation of knowledge and learning skills to support the educational path a student may choose to pursue. Classical education constructs this foundation by giving priority to mastery of mathematics and language arts. Emphasizing fine arts will strengthen the learning process and develop a creative and reasoning mind.
Parental involvement is crucial to a child’s academic success. LPA will do all in its power to encourage meaningful parental participation. Collaboration among the student, parent, and educator is also an essential component for success. School hours, methods of communication, and homework schedules are designed to recognize the importance of family time and support.
Character education is imperative to the creation of a responsible and contributing member of society. LPA’s educational environment will support the development of positive character traits such as respect, integrity, and hard work. The fusion of intellect and character will enable the student to become a productive and conscientious citizen.
