When a school feels like family, it’s a powerful springboard for students to excel faster and achieve more. The success of LPA’s inquiry-based teaching approach and curriculum is supported by our Diverse by Design culture. By welcoming and exploring differences, we improve critical thinking that leads to greater academic performance.

Because we lead, one day our students will.

At LPA, every student and staff member is recognized and valued for who they are. From the moment you walk through our doors, it feels like family. And that difference is why we are a top-ranked school for academic growth, retain staff longer and attract so much support from those who believe in what we do. Come meet the leaders of tomorrow, today.

Testimonials

LPA encourages intellectual curiosity, love of learning, inclusiveness, and kindness. Absolutely stellar faculty and leadership team.”

-LPA Parent

We’re very grateful for the patient teachers with more current views on how to teach kids – methods using engagement rather than lecturing and working with the student rather than humiliating them. It’s a joyful atmosphere… We’re very thankful the school is here.”

-LPA Parent

LPA truly is a warm and wonderful community, and both my sons have made what I am sure will be life-long friends. If you want your kids to love going to school every day, LPA is a great option!!”
