Prepared Graduates
College Ready
At LCA, we equip students with essential research and writing skills that pave the way for academic success in college. Through engaging persuasive essays and dynamic debates, our students tackle complex assignments, honing their ability to communicate. We offer a diverse range of math pathways, allowing students to accelerate their learning to take Calculus their senior year or complete their math journey at Algebra II. Students complete a senior capstone project on a subject of their choosing to foster experience through independent research and exploration of a topic. Consult our Course of Study to see the various electives and course offerings to prepare students for college. Access our College Profile to see how LCA prepares students for college.
Strategic Readiness
Test Prep
LCA prepares students for standardized testing. At LCA, students take the PSAT-9 freshmen year, the PSAT-NMSQT sophomore and junior year, and provide an in-school official SAT to juniors in the spring and seniors in the fall. Our dedicated College & Career class equips students with test-taking techniques and strategies for preparation to take the SAT. Students are trained in test taking strategies and study methods throughout their educational journey and take finals in their core subjects at the end of each semester to build resilience and readiness for future standardized tests.
Accelerated Pathways
Concurrent Credit
Concurrent credit provides college credit for taking classes at LCA from LCA teachers. Unlike dual enrollment or online courses, students receive credit both at LCA for high school and credit from Cairn University for college at the same time! Students will have an actual college transcript on file at Cairn! After high school, students can transfer credit from Cairn University to other colleges throughout the country or attend Cairn University. Unlike AP courses, concurrent credit doesn’t require a high score on one test. Students receive credit for passing the course at LCA. Concurrent credit through our partnership with Cairn University only costs $80 a credit. LCA offers concurrent credit coursework in Algebra II, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Advanced Biology, Western Civilization, and Physics. This is over one semester of college credit with the potential to save students thousands through graduating college early! This completed coursework may also provide the opportunity to double major, receive a minor, or take more interesting and challenging course work their freshmen year!
