About the Academy

An advanced, well-rounded Christian education.

The Curriculum You Can Trust

Lahr-Well Christian Academy provides an advanced education for students of forward thinking parents.

The Academy is a not-for-profit, private school that has been serving students since 1985 in grades pre-K through grade 12.

Our comprehensive curriculum highlights reading, mathematics, language arts, S.T.E.a.M. studies, five foreign languages, computer instruction, music appreciation, social sciences, literary masterpieces, hands-on art & art history and philosophy.

Founded by Dr. Almeda M. Lahr-Well, the Academy has been in existence since the 1984/1985 academic year.  With more than 34 years of research and development in grades pre-K through grade 12, nationally standardized test scores support that after 4-6 years’ instruction, students are generally testing 2-6 years beyond chronological age.

Learn Well

Learning well prepares your child to investigate a lifetime of new adventures. To learn well is more than only studying what your child is interested in studying.

In order to be a well-rounded person, one needs to be educated in foreign languages, as well as science, technology, engineering art and mathematics, a S.T.E.a.M. discipline/approach.

Students at the Academy, from the age of 4 through grade 12, study five foreign languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Parents who desire a better life for their child/ren need to embrace a well-rounded/rock-solid education. The Academy’s amazing and extraordinary curriculum is a curriculum that parents can trust!

At Lahr-Well Christian Academy, your child will not sit on the edges and observe without participating. Our teachers draw the entire class into discussions and activities.

Lead Well

In order to be well-educated, one also needs to build a core value of positive morals and ethics.

Integrity is key to all.

At Lahr-Well Christian Academy, a student learns to enhance wisdom through discernment.

Leadership is not sitting in an ivory tower.  Leadership cannot be “Do as I say, not as I do.”  Leadership is attempting the “impossible,” leading by example.

At Lahr-Well Christian Academy, students are taught to bring their intrinsic value to the table as leaders.

More than simply profess, one should learn to believe that “A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor (to be esteemed) is better than silver and gold.”

Proverbs 22:1, Amplified Bible

#1 “If your child isn’t gifted on the first day of school, she/he will be on graduation day.”
 
#2 “Your child will learn well to lead well at Lahr-Well!
