About LCA

Louisville Classical Academy is a secular, independent school founded with the mission of providing a rigorous education to students of all backgrounds and beliefs.

The “Classical” in our name refers to our immersive Latin language curriculum beginning in third grade, our traditional English program (with a strong emphasis on phonics, grammar, spelling, cursive writing, and classical and contemporary literature of an advanced reading level), and our low technology policy. Our small class sizes (an average of eight students per class) allow us to further fulfill our mission by ensuring that all students are active participants in each and every class.

Classical Liberal Arts

Louisville Classical Academy stands in a long tradition of education that reflects the spirit of inquiry of ancient Greece and Rome. Students at LCA learn, in a very literal way, how to participate productively in the “great conversation” that began in Athens more than 2,000 years ago and continues today. Essential areas of study in the classical liberal arts and sciences include enduring literature, Latin, advanced science and mathematics, history, fine arts, music, and geography, as well as culturally significant mythology and philosophy.
