School Notes
- Welcome to LaGrange Academy! As the Head of School here at the Academy as well as the parent of three current students, I am personally able to witness the exceptional learning taking place every day. From the moment I first set foot on the campus of Lagrange Academy, I was struck with the feeling that this was a very special place.
- At the Academy, we believe every child holds a unique promise and brings something to the world that no one else can. We recognize that to adequately prepare students for an ever-changing world, we must provide them with a solid foundation based in our accelerated college-prep curriculum, enhanced by our fine arts and athletic programs. Additionally we have a responsibility to instill in our students the habits of heart and mind that last a life-time, helping them to be courageous questioners, creative thinkers, and empathetic citizens, fully equipped and eager to re-shape the world for the better.
- I invite you to explore our website, but, even more importantly, I encourage you to see our school in action. Come interact with our extraordinary students, observe our caring teachers, and experience the depth of all we have to offer here at the Academy.
- I hope you`ll join us soon to see for yourself the LaGrange Academy difference.
- Regards,
- Brian Dolinger
