The Scholarship Tax Credits program allows individuals and businesses to donate to a fund to help financially limited families afford the school that is best for their children’s needs. It does not take revenue away from public schools and it does not support the wealthy. If you would like to learn more about this program, please take a moment and watch this video as Charles Leis, president of EdChoiceKY, shares the truth behind this much-needed legislation.

As you may be aware, the Scholarship Tax Credit Bill (House Bill 350 and SB 110) movement is at its peak and we need to generate support from the Christian school community.

If you have not reached out to your legislators and/or encouraged others to do so, PLEASE ACT NOW! Legislators are hearing from opponents and it is crucial that they hear from the Christian school community as well. Anyone can very quickly send an email to legislators by using: https://www.votervoice.net/ACSI/campaigns/70662/respond

We are so thankful to our families who will be joining us for the 2020-21 school year. Save and share this graphic on social media and let your friends and family know why you chose LCA. Continue reading below if you still need to re-enroll your student(s) for next year.

Our window for re-enrollment has officially ended, but you can still re-enroll your students for next year. Please remember that all students need to complete the re-enrollment process, even if your student is not returning to LCA. This helps us gauge class sizes, schedules, and new enrollments. If you intend for your students to return to LCA, please keep in mind that they will not be able to schedule classes or be placed in a homeroom class assignment for the 2020-2021 school year without being re-enrolled first.

To learn more about re-enrollment and begin the re-enrollment process, click HERE for the re-enrollment webpage.
