Lee-Scott Academy

What Lee-Scott Academy does

Lee-Scott Academy (LSA) is a private, nonprofit Christian college-preparatory school operating from a single campus at 1601 Academy Drive, Auburn, Alabama. The school delivers a continuous K4-through-12th-grade educational program structured across three divisions: Lower School (K4-6th grade), Middle School (7th-8th grade), and Upper School (9th-12th grade). Total enrollment stands at 827 students, supported by 84 professional staff members at a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, with 65% of staff holding advanced degrees. LSA reports a 100% college acceptance rate for graduates and has been recognized twice as an AP School Honor Roll Silver Member by the College Board, alongside Apple Distinguished School designation.

The school's core offering is an integrated college-prep curriculum grounded in biblical, Christ-centered principles. Technology is delivered through a 1:1 device program (school-owned iPads for grades 7-8 and MacBooks for grades 9-12), Google Suite for Education, Adobe Suite for Education, and the STAR assessment platform. Academics span Lower School enrichment rotations (Spanish, STEM, art, music, library media, technology), Pre-AP and AP coursework at the Upper School, and a dual enrollment program enabling students to earn college credit through partnerships with Auburn University, The University of Alabama, Troy University, Point University, Columbus State University, Southern Union State Community College, and Wallace Community College Selma. A Spring 2025 Project Lead the Way grant added engineering coursework and 3D printing capacity to the STEM department. Extracurricular offerings include 14 sports across 34 athletic teams plus visual and performing arts programs.

LSA generates revenue primarily through tuition and fees paid by enrolled families, supplemented by advancement and fundraising activity coordinated through a dedicated advancement office. Enrollment is driven by a sales-led, direct-admissions motion: school websites, inquiry forms, tours, and multi-step applications with grade-appropriate assessments and interviews. Go-to-market is hyper-local, drawing families from Auburn, Alabama and the surrounding Southeast region. The school holds accreditations with the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and is a member of the Alabama Independent School Association (AISA). Operating governance rests with a board structure typical of independent nonprofit schools, and the institution is not part of any larger holding entity or chain.
