FAQs

Who is LFA?

LFA is a faith-based homeschool academy (or a homeschool partnership/drop off program) for K-12th grade. (We have a few limited spots for PreK.) 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; although we do have teachers that have children in attendance here, so volunteer/paid positions are sometimes available. Most kids just refer to LFA as "school."

When does LFA meet?

What ages/grades may attend?

LFA offers a flexible schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays - 10:30-3:30 for K-12th.
(PreK may attend with older siblings or pending space availability.)

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 both days and most activities that are offered. It is whatever works best for your family!

Q:	What does a day at LFA look like?
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.

How long has LFA been in existence?

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!

What does it cost to attend LFA and when do we submit payment?

Please see our file entitled "LFA Fee Schedule." Registration generally begins in May 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! We do keep enrollment open all year provided that we have spots available. Registration fees are due by June (or at the time you register if after June.)

Tuition payments begin in August on the 10 month plan.

Q:	Where does LFA meet?
A:	Our academy building is located in south Greenville, TX.

Q:	When does the school year begin and end?
A:	We typically begin the second Tuesday in September and meet until the third week in May!

What curriculum is used?

May I send my own?

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

For PreK and Kindergarten we use ABEKA. 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.

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.

Do you offer anything else outside of your academy hours?

We offer karate lessons and piano lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

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

We also offer summer activities during the day and Friday Fun nights! During the school year we offer events for ladies of the community, teen nights, community fellowship, coffee connection and we really want to bring back our fitness classes (but foot pain and scheduling has been a real "pain') and we hope to bring a men's gathering soon! We want to be able to provide something for everyone!

What if I (or my child) are afraid of trying something new? Are we committed to the whole semester/year?

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.***

What if I still have questions?

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!

What if I'm ready to take the leap? Our family is ready to join the LFA Community family! (Or return!)

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.) Most of our spots are full but we are trying hard to create more space! Once that is confirmed, you will pay your registration fee of $150. 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!
