UPPER SCHOOL CURRICULUM

LCA offers a college preparatory curriculum based on a Christian perspective of education. The most suitable materials and resources have been selected to aid in accomplishing our objectives. LCA’s Core Curriculum is based on educational goals and objectives that have been developed through reviewing the State of Georgia performance standards, national education guidelines, and selective publisher’s curriculum guides. Benchmarks have been put in place for each subject and grade to aid in holding to this set of standards.

LCA uses a variety of publishers for its curriculum. Textbooks are chosen with much research, thought, and prayer. Both secular and Christian texts are evaluated for their academic soundness and their appropriateness in relation to our Christian environment.

Over 70% of LCA's high school students are enrolled in at least one Honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment class.

+ HONORS AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES

Honors courses permit students to explore a given subject in more depth than is normally possible in a regular college prep course. The material is dealt with on a more rigorous level. Students are expected to have a high level of commitment to their studies.

Advanced Placement courses are designed to replace a course taught the freshman year of college. Scores on the College Board Advanced Placement Program Examinations, which are administered at the end of the school year, may be accepted by the respective university and awarded college credit.

Because more is expected of these students, grades in the Honors and Advanced Placement courses are weighted more heavily than grades in regular courses.

+ DUAL ENROLLMENT: Truett-McConnell University

The dual enrollment program allows high school students the opportunity to participate in dual enrollment classes with Truett-McConnell University. This pursuit of postsecondary course work allows students to receive dual high school and college credit in the areas of College Algebra, Precalculus, American Literature, American Government, and English Composition. LCA students are able to graduate with up to thirty hours of college credit.
