Thank you for your interest in Lake Pointe

Lake Pointe ministers to families who: 

1. Love Jesus, submit to his Lordship, and teach the Bible in the home  

2. Really like learning and value education beyond duty and documentation

3. Commit significant time and energy to be closely involved in their children's discipleship and academic education.

LPA is for families who run toward Lake Pointe's mission, not those who are simply willing to put up with it to either enjoy its schedule or to avoid other, less palatable school choices 

Lake Pointe works for students who truly want to learn. 
Some students resist and recoil from learning and the concept of school. 
We cannot help that attitude, anymore than a bakery can entice those who hate cookies and scent of doughnuts. We are all about learning, involving parents in that learning, and developing student skills to create learning for a lifetime. 

LPA works best for students are adequately prepared, academically. 
This does not mean students have to be academically gifted. Many academically talented students are lazy and prideful. We would rather have the average student who will work diligently and faithfully, because our form of liberal arts and skill-building education will turn the average pupil into a valuable, above-average student. 

1. Christian Scholarship transcends facts and scores
   Education belongs to the Lord, as do all things! 
   Many schools only orient to knowledge. Biblically, knowledge leads to understanding and then wisdom. 
   What we learn, how we learn it, and where God is found in that learning are vital. 
   Therefore, classroom and campus engagement and conduct are an essential part of education. 
   College prep is ministry prep, with the Lord and His Word at center. 
   God wants us to love Him, love people, and tell others.
    
2. Parents are God's ordained educators. LPA helps.
   The University Model is structured to intimately include parents, as co-educators to carry out the curriculum and as academic trainers, life coaches, and spiritual encouragers. Students learn better because moms and dads spend time with their children, by working at the student's own pace and in explanation and discussion. 
    
3. A classical SHALOM curriculum equips better humans
   "Anything as long as they're reading?" 
   Really? 
   “I guess they're learning normal, regular sixth grade stuff.” 
   Really?
   Romancing computer devices, prioritizing “collaboration," and pursuing endless activities isn't learning. 
   A classically-influenced curriculum presents students with facts and skills, with which to think, to analyze, and to communicate. 
   Such a liberal arts presentation integrates all subjects, with God at the center and with history and geography as context.
   Truth, beauty, and virtue are held up as standards of humanity, as created in God's very image. 
   Not STEM, but SHALOM. Peace is the goal, as students learn the essentials in a broad curriculum of Science, History, Arts, Language, Orthodox Christianity, and Math. 
   Educating and integrating all the subjects best prepares the college-bound to thrive in college and life and to be able to pivot to God's calling in any direction. 

Cost of private education is a simple question and an important one.

2025-26 Full-time tuition rates 

Elementary: K5 to 5th grade
$4,090 to $4,770 per year

Secondary: 6th to 12th Grade
$5,860 to $6,625 per year   

Cost reductions are available, such as multiple-sibling discounts.  

Individual student registration and grade level fees are additional.

Target maximums: 

• Elementary 16 students
• Secondary  18 students

Classroom assistants further reduce the student-to-teacher ratio.

Small class sizes are maintained because of the high expectations for direct student engagement with teachers and peers, such as in participation and presentation and in discussion and debate. 

There are two basic admissions tracks: 

1. A fast-track for parents who are already sold on the ministry opportunity. 

2. A more investigative, deliberate discovery process, to help families make wise decisions at a slower pace.

For success, the University Model requires all involved to be prepared, trained, and ready for the coming academic year. 

Experience has taught us that when families come late to the process, they are not ultimately served well and the students arrive at a disadvantage. The early summer registration cut-off helps to protect families by ensuring they receive essential support before starting later at the academy. We look forward to providing the same high level of care for your family at the proper time.

 In over twenty years of operation, we have learned three important lessons about supporting a parent-involved University Model School.

1.    Lake Pointe operates with a high level of parent involvement and student engagement. The June application deadline allows families to comfortably complete the admissions process, to attend to various summer training sessions, and to finish the summer reading and math preparation.  

2.    Unless the staff dedicates the entire month of July to preparation, our enrolled families will not be fully served, and it is to those families that we owe our staff's best efforts and results.

3.    We are practicing being content. The Lord has brought us a quality crop of families this year, and we both rejoice and rest in that opportunity.

Our admissions representatives are willing to collect and to consider late enrollment exceptions, but exceptions are for exceptional cases. Our academy operates upon three pillars. The more a family has experience in each of these three pillars, the more likely an exception might be made.

1. Passionate yearning for discipleship through academic and related studies.

2. University Model experience, with its alternating day schedule and at-home, strong family support.

3. Experience with classical content and approaches.

Additionally, the family that is familiar with the academy's programs, minimizing the needs for training, the better the chance for exception.
