Our Story
Founded in 2008 by Carolyn Nelson, Life Christian Academy (LCA) began as a vision to provide a nurturing educational environment for her grandchildren. Starting with just three students and one teacher, LCA has grown exponentially, now serving over 400 scholars and employing more than 50 dedicated team members. The journey from a small classroom to a thriving private Christian school is a testament to God's grace and provision.
In 2011, Carolyn Nelson partnered with Stefanee Tolbert to formalize LCA as a private Christian school. With a commitment to academic excellence and character development, LCA has consistently equipped students to face life's challenges with a strong Christian worldview. Each year, graduates leave LCA prepared for high school and beyond, excelling in advanced placement courses and participating in various extracurricular activities such as the National Honor Society, cheerleading, theatre, and sports.
At LCA, the focus is on nurturing the whole child. The school has expanded its curriculum to include enrichment programs that enhance learning through music, art, technology, and organized sports. This holistic approach ensures that students not only excel academically but also develop their talents and interests.
