We have had our child in a public school until this year. He transferred over from a public school. LCA has been a wonderful school for my son to grow in the Lord, and he learns life lessons daily from his basketball coaches which love him enough to discipline him and help him reach his potential.
... Read more I love the teams motto- no regrets- they play all out for the glory of God and have no regrets when they step off the court. Our son has played at the public school level and while the competition is better, the learning and development of the overall player and person are not. We are so very happy that we made the change and are telling all of our friends that are serious about pursuing their passion to join the LCA family. I have no regrets about sending our son to LCA. Great bball program. Read less

We left the worst primary school in LaVergne for Lancaster Christian Academy in Smyrna. This is a wonderful school that is affordable ($5000 per year).

Her teacher was very helpful and told her if she wasn't being challenged then she belonged in a higher grade. She subsequently has made the principal's list every grading period. I can't say enough great things about this school. Christians of every denomination are welcome and we do not see a dominance by any one church affiliation. Read less
