What Lexington Christian Academy does

Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) is a private, non-denominational Christian school founded in June 1989 through the merger of The Academy and The Lexington Christian School. The school operates two campuses in Lexington, Kentucky (a Preschool/Elementary campus at 3100 Tates Creek Road and the Rose Campus/administrative offices at 450 W. Reynolds Road serving grades 6-12) and employs 211 faculty and staff. LCA serves students from preschool through 12th grade across five academic divisions: Preschool (ages 3-5), Elementary (TK-5th grade), 6th Grade Academy, Junior High (7th-8th), and High School (9th-12th), with all instruction integrated through a Biblical Worldview framework.

The school's core offering is comprehensive PK-12 Christ-centered education supplemented by athletics (20+ sports), fine arts (musicals, chorus, instrumental, visual arts), college and career counseling, student support services (reading and math intervention), and a SEVIS-approved international student program. The underlying technology stack consists of Canvas LMS for learning management, FACTS/RenWeb for student information systems and tuition billing, Naviance for college and career readiness, and Quaver for music curriculum. Auxiliary programs include the Ignite after-school enrichment program (grades 2-5), an eight-week summer camp, athletic camps, and the WINGS Store selling branded apparel.

LCA's business model is primarily tuition-driven with subscription-like annual billing. Tuition ranges from $2,056 (preschool half-day, 2 days) to $15,857 (high school), with elementary averaging $11,872-$12,684 and middle school $14,679-$15,108. The school is supplemented by donations and fundraising (A Night for LCA / Eagle Gala, Business Partners, Community Rewards), summer and athletic camp fees ($250/week), and merchandise sales. More than $1 million in need-based financial aid is awarded annually. LCA is a nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Directors (with new members added in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025), currently led by Head of School Jeff Jones (appointed June 2025). The school holds dual accreditation from ACSI and Cognia, is SEVIS-approved, and was named AP School Honor Roll with Silver Distinction (2023) and Best Private School in Lexington by ABC36 Viewers Choice.
