Missions Minded

May 25, 2022

The Academy has a long-standing partnership with Kathy from Operation Christmas Child. From creating gifts to go into the kids' Christmas Boxes, to actually packing and loading the boxes for shipping, Operation Christmas Child has been a mission for our students!

We were blessed to have Kathy from Operation Christmas Child for chapel today! She spoke to us about how to help spread the Gospel message around the world and what it has meant to her to be a missionary. Look for more information in your child’s folder!

Special Night

May 24, 2022

LCA's Graduation Dinner is always an incredibly special night. As students are completing their middle school experience, there is an opportunity for speeches, memories, laughter, tears, prayers and prophetic words. The graduates have an opportunity to talk about the most impactful leadership qualities they take with them as they've spent years learning from God's Word, studying Biblical leaders, watching the staff & classmates at LCA live out these qualities and experiencing the spiritual and leadership growth in themselves!

The Academy's middle school students are equipped to stand strong in their faith as a Godly leader for THIS generation!

Welcome to Narnia

May 20, 2022

Each Spring the Academy hosts an academic night which changes subjects each year...from Science & Math to World's Fair to this year's Literacy Night. The students and staff transformed the school and brought the Chronicles of Narnia to life for the entire student body, families and guests! And it was just beautiful!

"It was such a joy to be together again! It was really nostalgic, since it’s been awhile! I’m thankful for our staff and families here at LCA! God has truly blessed us," said resident artist Alise Heinrich

The Chronicles of Narnia series was written by C.S. Lewis in the 1950s, when he was a high-powered Oxford professor and perhaps the 20th Century’s most famous convert to Christianity. An atheist from boyhood, he converted at age 33 to Christianity and devoted much of the rest of his life to writing about faith.

C.S. Lewis was the great Christian apologist of the 20th Century. His radio programs reached millions and galvanized a new revival in the 1940s in the United Kingdom during World War II. His books including The Chronicles of Narnia have been read by 100 million people, many of whom have seen a deeper truth in them.

It is in one of Lewis’ last letters (March 5, 1961) to an older child, Anne, that Lewis most fully explains his intentions for The Chronicles of Narnia. Anne seems to have written Lewis about a scene from Chapter XVI, ‘The Healing of Harms,’ in The Silver Chair. Aslan, Eustace, and Jill are in Aslan’s Country and they have just witnessed the restoration of the dead King Caspian to full life and youthful vigor. Jill cannot understand what she has just seen, so Aslan explains that Caspian had died and so had he.

As C.S. Lewis wrote:

“What Aslan meant when he said he had died is, in one sense plain enough. Read the earlier book in this series called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and you will find the full story of how he was killed by the White Witch and came to life again. When you have read that, I think you will probably see that there is a deeper meaning behind it. The whole Narnian story is about Christ. That is to say, I asked myself ‘Supposing that there really was a world like Narnia and supposing it had (like our world) gone wrong and supposing Christ wanted to go into that world and save it (as He did ours), what might have happened?’ The stories are my answers. Since Narnia is a world of Talking Beasts, I thought He would become a Talking Beast there, as He became a man here. I pictured Him becoming a lion there because (a) the lion is supposed to be the king of beasts; (b) Christ is called ‘The Lion of Judah’ in the Bible; (c) I’d been having strange dreams about lions when I began writing the work.

The whole series works out like this: *The Magician’s Nephew tells the Creation and how evil entered Narnia. *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Crucifixion and Resurrection. *Prince Caspian restoration of the true religion after corruption. *The Horse and His Boy the calling and conversion of a heathen. *The Voyage of the Dawn Treader the spiritual life (especially in Reepicheep). *The Silver Chair the continuing war with the powers of darkness. *The Last Battle the coming of the Antichrist (the Ape), the end of the world and the Last Judgment.”**
