LaGrange Academy attracts highly educated, genuinely interested, and innovative teachers who are diverse, transparent, supportive, and uphold high standards for all students. Each teacher implements a challenging curriculum and encourages all students to achieve their best. LaGrange Academy is led by an exceptional headmaster who genuinely cares and consistently makes decisions in the school's best interest. The LaGrange Academy soccer program has truly made a difference for my son. The coaches are dedicated and supportive; my son's positive attitude, dedication to his schoolwork, and growing self-confidence have truly become a source of immense pride for me. The emphasis on teamwork and sportsmanship is excellent, and I love the sense of community it creates among the students.
