LRCA J-Term

J-Term is an interim “semester” between the first and second semesters and runs the first two weeks of January after returning from Christmas break.  The J-Term school day is divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. One course is taken per session. J-Term is modeled after the college January term idea and is designed to increase learning opportunities for students. It allows us to offer classes not normally provided in regular semesters and gives students opportunities to grow through a variety of experiences as they develop their giftedness and consider where God may be leading them. The “block” or trip nature of the two weeks also allows for deeper relationships with teachers and small groups of students as well as focused in-depth study. Juniors and seniors may work in approved internships anywhere in the world. Students may also elect educational trips or mission trips.

Each morning and afternoon course receives a .25 credit, while trips and full day courses receive a .5 credit. Each student is required to earn the .5 J-Term credit for each year enrolled at LRCA.   J-Term courses will not count toward fulfilling non-J-Term graduation requirements.

Some J-Term courses require a fee in order to provide needed materials or to pay for transportation and lodging costs.  In addition, due to some courses being held off-campus, families may need to arrange for transportation to and from those courses.

Go Warriors!
