Update on End of School Year Dates
As directed by the Governor earlier this week, Lexington Christian Academy will continue virtual instruction for the remainder of this academic year. The last day of formal instruction for preschool through 11th grade students will be Friday, May 15. For seniors, their last day of formal instruction will be Friday, May 8. As needed, during the week of May 18-22, teachers will provide Advanced Placement (AP) class instruction until the date for each AP test. Students in 6th–12th grades will also have this time to complete any specially assigned end of course projects. Teachers will communicate AP instruction schedules and deadlines for these projects as applicable.
We love seeing #LCACares photos. Pictured above, Sam Crump, an LCA freshman, created and applied a vinyl "Team Kentucky" to his family's front transom and craft some left over green plastic Easter eggs to make LED porch lights shine with compassion.
Pictured below, members of the LCA staff donated items to a Lexington nurse who is in New York City to help serve during the COVID-19 pandemic. If your family is showing appreciation in the community, snap a photo and send to lcollins@lexingtonchristian.org.

Each year, LCA allocates a portion of its operating budget to tuition assistance. In addition, individuals or businesses have the ability to donate toward this fund in order for the school to serve more families – especially in times of crisis such as COVID-19.
