Louisville Classical Academy is a small, secular independent school located in the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. LCA was founded with the mission of providing a rigorous education to students of all backgrounds and beliefs. The “Classical” in our name refers to our immersive Latin language curriculum beginning in third grade, our traditional English program with a strong emphasis on grammar, spelling, cursive writing, and classical and contemporary literature of an advanced reading level, and our low technology policy where students use almost no digital devices inside or outside of class during school hours. Our small class sizes (an average of eight students per class) allow us to further fulfill our mission by ensuring that all students are active participants in each and every class. The small classes also allow us to provide our totally unique offering in our mathematics curriculum: fully differentiated instruction, where each student works their textbook at their own, separate pace. This allows us to meet each student where they are and students advance quickly through the material, regardless of whether or not they are ahead of or behind grade level, since they are always doing problems suited to their actual experience. 

By partnering with Louisville Classical Academy, you are providing the necessary support to sustain this completely unique education and its independence from all other institutions, preserving its intellectual mission as a school for free-thinking. Further, Louisville Classical Academy is one of the most generous tuition-charging private schools in the city of Louisville, granting 28% of our tuition back as financial aid to 50% of our student body, with an average grant of $6,775 which covers over half of tuition. Your donations today help us provide one of the best educations in the city of Louisville to families with a very real need.

We are so grateful for your generosity!
