Parental Involvement: The Greatest Predictor of Student Achievement
At Lincoln-Way Christian Academy (LCA), the guiding philosophy, as articulated by Pastor Randy, centers on the concept of building families of faith. This principle has been a cornerstone of LCA's mission for over 18 years, attracting families from diverse religious backgrounds who seek a high-quality, safe educational environment for their children. The emphasis is not just on academic excellence but also on nurturing faith, with a specific focus on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
A distinctive feature of LCA's educational approach is the significant emphasis on parental involvement, which is regarded as a key factor in student achievement. This belief aligns with broader understandings within private conservative Christian education institutions that active parental engagement in school life positively impacts student success. At LCA, this involvement is visibly evident, with parents frequently present and participating in various school activities and projects.
The school’s ethos also prioritizes recognizing and honoring God in all aspects of life, whether in times of conflict or celebration. This approach is reflective of a wider ethos in similar institutions, where education is viewed through a spiritual lens, seeking to understand and acknowledge God's presence and guidance in all circumstances. This perspective is not only about giving glory to God but also about seeking divine guidance, especially in challenging times.
LCA stands as an embodiment of a vision that integrates faith, education, and community, highlighting the importance of parental involvement and a constant spiritual awareness in its educational approach. This vision resonates with broader trends in private conservative Christian education, where faith and learning are interwoven to foster both academic and spiritual growth.
