I have had the joy of being apart of the King's Christian Academy for the past 14 years. My daughter is a senior this year and I have a son in 9th and a son in the 3rd grade class. Recently my husband and I took our daughter to a university where she was chosen to attend for the fall 08 school year.
... Read more It was during this weekend that I really saw how well KCA prepared my daughter for college. KCA has a rigorous academic program that does not need lots of extra supplemental programs to challenge children. KCA has involved my children in many extra outside organizations like Summit, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, BlackRock Outdoor School and Sandy Cove Bible Conference. The athletic program is growing and there are opportunities for participation from middle school on up. Like any school there are areas for growth. KCA focuses on the heart. Read less

Overall, KCA has been an excellent place to educate my three children. In the tri-county area, KCA presents the best in Christian education and related activities. KCA has prepared my children for college and beyond. The proof is in the pudding. Ask the students! They will tell you about the school,
... Read more it's positives and areas of needed improvement. Christian education, where a Biblical worldview is taught, it paramount at KCA. It is disappointing that those who have issues with the schools they write about warp other's opinions of all the good that is being done. Christian education is not for everyone. However, this school is an excellent place to grow academically, socially, and most of all, spiritually. Read less

The quality of the academics is excellent. This is probably due to class size, good kids who listen and want to learn and a teaching staff not burdened with typical public school restrictions and a program firmly planted in Christian principles. The middle and high school level has typically scored

KCA has new facilities/campus with room to expand in the future. The school has also expanded their athletic program with competitive sports such as Basketball, soccer, Track, volleyball and Cheerleading. Read less

Our daughter has attended KCA for four years and loves it. She looks forward to going to school. Academics are challenging but our daughter has worked through it and is better for it. These other parents/student reviews may feel it is too challenging. It is a small private school and therefore does

Read more not have all of the electives or extracurricular activities that local public schools provide but KCA concentrates on solid academic foundation and building the moral character of the children. I would place KCA's standard test scores against any of the local schools. One student review spoke about non-Christians feeling isolated. This is a Christian school and isn't for everyone. Sports programs have expanded in the past year and KCA has room for future expansion. Visit the school and see for yourself. Read less

My two sons attended for one year and were happy to not have to return. We had great hopes of a strong christian school and were disappointed by the favoritism shown to families who had been attending with consecutive children over new students, even to the point of disbelieving two or three children
... Read more over one. The administrator refused to acknowledge opinions that were different than her own and even denied other parent complaints had ever taken place. Talking to a brick wall is a good comparison. I did notice that most girls attending enjoyed the school and most boys tended to struggle and get into trouble for 'being boys'. No behavioral differences were acceptable. Very disappointed. The art and music classes available were minimal at best and far below what the public schools offer. Even good teachers struggled against the restrictions put on them. Read less

I enrolled in LPCS when I was in 5th grade. My parents saw this school as having a strong Christian foundation and teachers that were understanding, well qualified, and supportive of the students. For the most part they were right. The school is non-denominational although they seem to teach fundamentalism.
... Read more the school boasts their strong math, science, art, music, bible, and spelling programs. That is until high school. I was taken out after 7th grade because the future appeared bleak. The largest reasion my parents removed me from this school is that I would have the same teachers during seventh-twelfth grades. There are no electives in this high school. The 'state of the art' computer lab was just that, 7 years ago. And the only extracurricular activites they offer are sports, no clubs or study groups. I would, however, reccomend this school for first-sixth graders, but not for high school students. Read less

I started lpcs in 2nd grade, and am now going into 9th. Im very sorry to say that i can find fwe redeeming qualities of this school in its present form. The new building isnt the grand spectacular palace of a school they wanted. I really dont want to say everything that i feel about kca (the new name),
... Read more so i will just say that the school isnt for me, nor many others like me. If you enjoy your american rights, dont enter this school/ Mrs. Ralon has said on numerous occasions that those rights no longer exist at kca, just do what ur told. If you hate god, dont enroll; kca basically reserves the right to descriminate against those they have proven to be non-christians. Sorry guys its the truth. Even peacful Bhudists will have a hard time. I could go on and on. If you want to be urself//dont//enter Read less

This school had taught my daughter a good foundation, but there was alot of teachers pets and they judged very many students. My kids felt like they could be themselves and felt trapped the entire 4 years they were there. When my son was entering into the 9th grade I decided to put him in a Public School
