Lakeview Christian Academy is a Preschool thru Grade 12, nondenominational, independent Christian school. Our Statement of Faith identifies our core values and provides us with our identity, mission and purpose. We are an educational ministry that provides all Christian families with training in academic excellence and spiritual development for over 30 years. All of our programs and activities are Biblically integrated, providing a spiritual foundation from which to disciple and equip our students for life. Our focus on a rigorous core curriculum throughout the instructional sequence ensures that we graduate all students with the ability to enter a post-secondary educational environment without the need for remediation.
At Lakeview Christian Academy, we determine our instructional sequences in every core subject area through a process of examination of post-secondary entrance requirements. We surveyed 2-3 public and private universities in every state in the United States to determine their expectations of how a freshman entering their institutions would be equipped academically so as not to need any kind of remediation. The results of our survey revealed an important consistency among post-secondary institutions, with an additional emphasis on course content within each core subject area. For example, they are more interested in the content of the math courses you take in high school rather than the number of math courses you take in high school. With this example, post-secondary institutions would require Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus as the 4 math courses a high school student must take in order to minimally qualify for admission. No other math courses will substitute for these requirements. The same would apply to the other core subject areas.
At Lakeview Christian Academy we believe it is important to require all of our students to take an instructional sequence in each of the core subject areas that will prepare all of them for entrance into a post-secondary institution. This is called our College Readiness Program. The rigor involved in such a requirement provides the additional benefit of developing the character of our students. Even if they decide to move directly into the workforce, they are adequately prepared with disciplines that will position them favorably with employers. This is a very important part of our program, and one that cannot be underestimated. Integrity in our young adults is something we old adults want to see.
