FAQs

Q:

A:

LFA is a faith-based homeschool academy (or a homeschool partnership/drop off program) for 1st-12th grade. (Kindergarten students may attend with older siblings on Wednesdays only) We do NOT refer to ourselves as a co-op as we do not require families to volunteer hours or teach classes.  We are a drop off program; most kids just refer to LFA as "school." 

Q:

A:

LFA offers a flexible schedule Tuesday throughThursdays - 10:30-3:30 for 1st-12th on T/Th, and 11:00-3:30 on W. (PreK & K may attend with older siblings on Wednesdays only pending space availability...older siblings may attend as well in order to keep siblings/families together if needed.)

We try to accomodate everyone's preferred schedules the best we can and will try to keep families together on the same day(s) if that is your choosing. Some children may attend only one day a week; some children participate in two days and most activities that are offered.  It is whatever works best for your family! Tuedays are designed for all ages, Wednesdays are for the younger crowd, 1st-6th, and Thursdays are for 6th grade and up only; this group has limited enrollment and will plan on having one outing a month for them.

Q:

A:

You may see our file entitled "LFA Tentative Schedule" but for the most part the mornings consist of Bible/Devotion, Language Arts and Math, and the afternoons are more extracurricular/enrichment. Kids shouldn't stress over academics so we work to their level.  As much as we think academics are important, we find that social time and fun are equally important. We like to encourage the kids to be out moving especially when we have nice weather!

Q:

A:

Since 2018!  We rented a classroom space in Caddo Mills and started with 2 kids....and one was my own and had to be there!   We had 7 students that first school year for our regular classes and we had 17 kids in a Science class that we offered!

We then moved to our current location in 2019 and have seen alot of changes and growth! It's been a wild, fun ride, full of challenges, full of BLESSINGS!

Q:

A:

Please see our file entitled "LFA Fee Schedule." Registration generally begins in May/June and we like to have everyone registered by June. Registering during that time frame gives you a better chance of securing your child's spot and receiving a class t-shirt! The earlier you register, the more affordable rate you get! We do keep enrollment open all year provided that we have spots available. Registration/curriculum/supply fees are due by June (and July).

Tuition payments begin in August on the 10 month plan for the most affordable rate! The school year begins in September!

Q:

Our academy building is located in south Greenville, TX.

Q:

The school year begins in September and ends in May!

Q:

A:

We are eclectic in nature and pull from many trusted and loved resources.  Our first go-to and "rule book" is the Bible!

For Kindergarten we use ABEKA, BJU, and a variety of learning tools.  For 1st through 12th we use ACE Packs - Accelerated Christian Education. We have found that these "bite size" books are open and go, teach various good characteristics and have a theme verse throughout.  We can easily advance your child if they need to be challenged more, or we can pull back if they are struggling.  We then use many other sources and technology for whatever subject/topic we may be learning about.  This is all included in your tuition.

We generally use the curriculum that we provide but many times we like to pull from other sources or special activities for holidays.

Third grade and up have the flexibility of bringing their own curriculum or online-based learning such as tablets, laptops, phones, etc. if that works better for their style of learning; however, tuition rates remain the same. We DO encourage online Math instruction for our Middle and High School students.

Q:

A:

We offer piano lessons on Thursdays. (Inquire with Miss Katherine for times and rates.)

We offer Team Club Tuesday and Wednesday after school 3:30-4:30.  This is extended care with play time, snack time, and a character lesson. This is for K - 6th but our middle school and high school students may attend for free.

Watch our calendar or our Facebook page for other events for the community or for fitness classes!

We also offer summer activities during the day and  a Friday Fun night!  During the school year we offer events for ladies of the community, teen nights, community fellowship, coffee connection and more. We like to hear feedback from the community of activities that you enoy. We want to be able to provide something for everyone!

Q:

A:

That's okay and very normal!  We allow your child to come visit for  a day or two or even a week to try it out first!

And things happen...people move, schedules change, etc. so just give us adequate notice if your child can no longer attend and we will part ways peacefully. 

***Please note that any payments received are non-refundable.***

Please see the file entitled "LFA Info. Page" to see if it may answer any other questions you may have.

If not, you may text, call, email, or message our LFA Community Facebook page and we'll get back to you ASAP!

Q:

A:

Great! We will certainly welcome you!  You will "request membership" on this site.  We will need to speak with you or even meet your family first  to make sure that we have an opening for the desired day(s) for your child(ren.)  Once that is confirmed, you will pay your registration fee of $125. That price will increase after the "early bird" special. We will then approve you on our site.  If we are full, you will be placed on a waiting list and we will contact you once we have an opening.

*** Requesting membership to this site/LFA Community and being admitted you will be agreeing to our LFA Waiver Agreement.  If you have any question about it, please feel free to ask!  ***

Thank you so much for inquiring about our sweet little school and we look forward to seeing you soon!
