Love is not self-seeking – We want our students to remember that education is ultimately not about personal achievement but about learning how to serve others.  Love is not proud, rude, or boastful, and although it is important for students to be independent, confident learners, satisfaction comes only when those abilities are used to serve those around them.  We believe that the nuclear family provides the greatest arena for learning and personal growth, and so we make every effort to promote parent-student relationship.  While in school students are encouraged to see their peers, teachers, and larger community as those be respected, helped, and loved.  Beyond this, our vision is global.  The LCA is part of an international group of families and churches, and we endeavor to instill in each student a broad perspective that sees beyond him and herself to the opportunities, relationships and needs of others, even those around the world.  Yearly trips throughout the United States and abroad help our students develop this global perspective.
