School Notes
Louisville Classical Academy stands in a long tradition of
education that reflects the spirit of inquiry of ancient Greece.
Students at LCA learn, in a very literal way, how to participate
productively in the "Great Conversation" that began in Athens more
than 2,000 years ago and continues today.In the modern world,
essential areas of study in the classical liberal arts and sciences
include Latin and Greek, advanced science and mathematics, enduring
literature, history, fine arts, music, and geography, as well as
culturally significant mythology and philosophy. These tools
develop superior habits of mind that also accelerate learning in
the sciences, history, and art.Within this intellectual home,
LCA students in kindergarten through twelfth grade learn to
approach learning and life with reason, mindfulness, and
purpose.Louisville Classical Academy is a small school by
design, and our scale enables students to find a meaningful place
within a vibrant community. Kindness, patience,and courtesy
are truly honored. Our teachers` goal for each student is
self-confidence tempered by the humility that should result from an
encounter with the great thinkers whose works we study.When
needed, above grade-level class placements are based on the
student`s prior studies, areas of talent or challenge, and overall
maturity. Our determination to ignore grade levels where they
get in the way of accelerated learning has allowed us to
successfully support eighth graders in Calculus, Advanced Placement
Latin, and Advanced Placement Art History. Boredom in the
classroom or with the LCA curriculum is not a common
complaint.

Louisville Classical Academy has completely fit our child's needs. The small class sizes and seminar-style of teaching allows for the students to be extremely engaged and we have found that our son loves school again. The students are all very smart and well mannered and respect each other, the teachers, and the school very much. We love the LCA families, too. They are all bright and interesting and involved. We were so fortunate to find LCA!
