General Info:
Because of our strategic location near a major Air Force base and our recent addition of a boarding option for international students, LCA provides a high-quality, student-centered education for students in an atmosphere that promotes spiritual growth. LCA offers international students a cross-cultural experience, allowing them to learn about the United States, improve their English, and prepare for a university education after graduation.
