Why our faculty tells us they enjoy teaching at LPA:
Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 02:09PM * 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
