Making Christian Education Affordable
We know that choosing a private Christian school for your Middle or High Schooler is a big decision, and we’re committed to making it possible for every family.
Many Middle and High School students attend Life Christian Academy - Emmaus through scholarships and Education Savings Accounts (ESA), including support from ACSTO, with some families paying as little as $50 per week out of pocket.
Our team guides families through the process, helping your child thrive academically, socially, and spiritually in a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment, without financial stress.
This will be our family’s sixth year at LCA, and we absolutely love the community and family atmosphere. Our kids especially enjoy Bible and Worship time—it’s their favorite part of the day! The Emmaus Program has brought a wonderful new chapter to their education. Being in multi-grade classrooms has helped them grow in empathy and take ownership of their learning. I only wish this school had been around when we were kids—I would have loved going to school!

Words cannot express how much we LOVE this school!!! Our kindergartener is just flourishing in their program, and we love that it's more than just education - they focus on the whole child, and give them the individualized attention they deserve - they're definitely MUCH more than a number at LCA!!!

LCA is an amazing school! We are truly blessed to have our daughter attend this school. This is our daughter's first year as she just started kindergarten and she has made leaps and bounds not only academically but spiritually as well. The teachers are wonderful and work with the students, challenging them at their own level. My young daughter is already reading books, doing addition and subtraction and best of all growing closer to God. It is so awesome being a parent watching your child grow and develop so quickly. I couldn't imagine a better school!
