Lakeland Christian Academy (LCA) is an accredited independent Kindergarten to Grade 12 school. Their students meet and exceed the requirements of the Alberta Program of Studies utilizing an innovative, Christian curriculum (Accelerated Christian Education) combined with other provincially approved textbooks. The independent school continues to disprove unfounded concern about "providing lesser education for the sake of Christian morals" by enabling graduates throughout the years to attend post-secondary institutions such as the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, NAIT, and more.
Lakeland Christian Academy creates an educational experience based upon individualized instruction and mastery learning. In contrast to Canadian public schools where students advance with or without understanding until high school, every student is looked upon as an individual and their needs, abilities, and potential are all taken into consideration and maximized. This individualized approach to education allows a child to learn effectively, giving them a sense of achievement and a chance at full understanding. At LCA, the education's building process can be a well-architected structure, rather than an unsteady Jenga tower by filling in gaps and solidifying pertinent knowledge the each student's success.
The emphasis on the spiritual development of students and the integration of faith and biblical truth into all areas of curriculum provides students with a strong foundation for their future. With support from Harvest Life Victory Church and staff from various churches with different Christian backgrounds, LCA seeks to serve families who desire education for their children rooted in morality and Biblical ethics. While some view LCA as an institution that produces ultra-sheltered, clueless children, the Lakeland Christian Academy concludes that their methods of teaching and nurturing align with the Biblical mandate in Proverbs 22:6 which states, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Necessary information is not withheld from the students at LCA as we follow the Alberta Program of Studies, but presented as it relates to Scripture and submitted to the student for individual critical thinking and wise conclusion.
