School Reviews

We are so thankful for the dyslexia program at LLCA! It's helped my child conquer their fears and understand why they think the way they do. We had a "D" in spelling from public school and within 9 weeks at LLCA with tutors and small groups, they had helped bring that grade up to an "A"!
5 2/9/2014
Our children have attended LLCA for 4 years, and we absolutely love it. They are learning so much! I am thrilled that my second grader started writing 5-paragraph essays (good ones), and my third grader learns morphology each week as part of vocabulary. The best thing, though, is that they are learning about everything through a biblical worldview, as Jesus Christ is the focus! Our school is our family, and everyone is so caring and compassionate. We are thankful for LLCA!!!
