Why our faculty tells us they enjoy teaching at LPA:

* Biblical integration, allowing them to teach God's Word woven throughout the academics

* Flexibility to teach (not having to teach full-time)
        Elementary classes meet Tues. & Thurs.; Secondary classes meet Mon.-Wed.-Fri.
        Six full-week breaks during the year; 16-week semesters

* Ability to teach just the subject areas and grade levels of their passion (not the range of their certification) 

* Low student-teacher ratio (maximum of 15:1 elementary and 18:1 secondary)

* Students who want to learn and who come to class prepared from at-home days

* The support of engaged, committed parents assisting the students at home

* Challenging academics through the classical model -- not teaching dumbed-down material

* Administrative support in working through issues (life lessons) with parents and students

* Interaction with parents -- learning to "teach through" other people

* On-site care provided for their young children while instructors teach 

* The chance to serve alongside and to learn from like-minded (but varied!) believers  

* Reduced administrative load and non-classroom responsibilities
