ACADEMICS
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
We are a Christian school and are deeply interested in the spiritual development of your child. We teach Christian principles through the everyday experiences of the student. We have a Christian curriculum filled with academic rigor and hands on experiences. Students contact God’s love on our campus through our distinctively qualified teachers. Students are regularly immersed in the word through chapel experiences, bible instruction, and daily prayer. Students leave LHA prepared to compete in a global economy and change the world.
