SCHOOL-WIDE EXPECTED STUDENT OUTCOMES
LCA’s mission is Equipping Leaders for Christ. This is accomplished by developing students spiritually, academically, and personally in a close-knit, relationship-oriented school community in Xenia/Greene County and surrounding areas, preparing graduates for postsecondary education, the marketplace, and leadership in their homes, churches, community, and vocation.
Students are challenged and encouraged spiritually such that they:
