High School

LRCA offers over 50 electives in areas such as World Languages, Business, Technology, Engineering, Theatre, Choir, Band, Orchestra, Art, Physical Education, and Athletics. The high school also provides 16 Advanced Placement courses and Concurrent College courses. A distinctive feature of LRCA is the Senior Capstone program, which allows rising juniors to submit proposals for a high-level, independent study or research project resembling college-level thesis work.

Other unique offerings include STEM (Project Lead the Way), the Farm to Fork program, over 30 clubs, and numerous service opportunities. Students also enjoy the annual J-Term program, which provides access to trips, classes, and internships not typically available during the regular school year.

BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW

All students develop a worldview – a perspective from which one sees and interprets the world. Biblical Worldview (BWV) is the foundational perspective from which all subjects are taught and applied at LRCA. We intentionally teach our students to view life through the lens of truth revealed in the Bible.

As the most distinguishing aspect of our school, BWV clarifies the often competing, confusing voices of our pluralistic society to help shape a student’s view of life and the universe.

Critical to a resilient Christ-centered worldview is the affirmation of the Bible as God’s Holy Word and thus the transcendent standard by which we understand and interpret all aspects of our existence. The Bible contains not only the measures by which we make life choices, but it is the story of God’s own people from the beginning of time until today, through which we learn that God is pursuing a relationship with us individually. Beginning in PreK, students of the Lower School learn the Biblical story and the foundation of Biblical Worldview. This is the plumb line of truth that will ground students as they encounter other worldviews in the future.

Each year our BWV faculty diligently work to help our students answer the following questions with increasing depth and clarity:

1. Who is God and what is His nature and character?

2. How is man created in the image of God, how did man fall, and why is he in need of restoration?

3. What is God’s plan for a restored relationship through Jesus Christ?

4. How can we trust and apply the Scriptures as God’s inspired, inerrant word?

5. What is the importance and benefit of growing in spiritual discipline?

6. How can we intelligently evaluate and positively engage the prevailing culture?

7. What is each believer’s role and responsibility in God’s redemptive plan?

8. How is God involved in history through people, events and His Church?

Our upper school Biblical Worldview faculty follow a well-mapped curriculum which includes progressive studies of books of the Bible, as well as extra-biblical sources.

At LRCA, a weekly chapel gathering is a dedicated time where students are formed into followers of Jesus. Minds are inspired, hearts are uplifted, and spirits are nourished as students gather to be immersed in the richness of Scripture, to explore God's truth, and to connect with our Creator through worship. Chapel isn't just a routine; it's a sacred space where students, faculty, and staff come together, fostering a sense of unity and purpose rooted in a love for Christ. We aim to equip students to cultivate a deeper understanding of Christian living and theology, guiding them on their journey of spiritual growth and discipleship. It's a time to pause, reflect, and strengthen our foundation in faith, empowering each individual to embrace their unique calling from the Lord in the world with compassion, integrity, and a profound sense of purpose to advance God's kingdom.
