Hybrid Model
LCA's Hybrid Model
Lucas Christian Academy is a hybrid-model school that integrates parents (mentoring their students) in partnership with highly qualified professional instructors to gain better academic and spiritual development of the student. We enable home and school to work together with the common goal of educating and raising up godly men and women, building up warriors for Christ who will become difference makers in the Kingdom of God. Lucas Christian Academy’s hybrid model is made up of three components.
A biblical foundation with an emphasis on discipleship
A general structure which seeks a high level of integration between home and school in the educational endeavor
An ethic of striving for academic excellence
