Fund Raising Procedures

• When did LA begin? LA began in 1997 with one class each of K-3 and a multi-aged 4th/5th. In March 2001, LA purchased the present site which LA currently occupies. The seven-classroom addition was completed and occupied in October 2001. A 7th grade was added in August 05 and an 8th grade was added in August 2006.
  
  
• What are some highlights of the Lincoln Academy program? Whole group instruction, Core Knowledge Sequence®, Saxon Math, self-contained classrooms, phonics based reading program and required homework.
  
  
• What is the class size? Classes run between 26 and 29 students with one teacher and one educational assistant. Most classes contain 27 or 28 students.
  
  
• Are the classes or grades mixed? LA has no multi-aged classes and no plans for the future.
  
  
• What makes LA a better choice? LA is only a "better" choice if you understand and support the philosophical direction of the program. LA presents the Core Knowledge Sequence® in a back-to-basics format (strong teacher direction) and emphasizes strong discipline in the classroom and school.
