Student Life
Student life at Louisville Classical Academy reflects the independent thinking of the young people who learn here. Everything from our extracurricular activities and elective offerings to the student body’s extensive level of engagement with the larger community is based on the interests or initiative of the students themselves. Despite the small size of the school—or perhaps because of it—LCA has an outstandingly well-balanced, creative, and active study body.
Student athletic programs sponsored by LCA include soccer, basketball, track, cross country, and archery with new sports being added each year. Informal sports and fitness occur daily, as LCA has recess and physical education for all grades. Students participate in tennis, soccer, basketball, field hockey, swimming, horseback riding, lacrosse, and more outside of school.
The after school program offers regular, daily care for all ages on a drop-in basis, as well as a variety of clubs, sports, and academic teams. Clubs vary by grade level, but some examples include drama, book club, Junior Classical League, Aurum Chorum (a unique music-focused leadership club), Dungeons and Dragons, craft club, and yoga. LCA students are successful in academic competitions as well with outstanding results in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the National Geographic Bee, the statewide Governor’s Cup and National Quiz Bowl competitions, and the National Junior Classical League.
