Reviews B
Since 1946, Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) has provided exceptional academic preparation, operating under the belief that faith and learning are inseparable and indispensable in a Christian education. We use our faith to build a stronger foundation of knowledge, critical thinking, curiosity, and a sincere quest for truth.

LCA’s commitment to an excellent academic experience, is an equal commitment to an authentic and meaningful integration of faith into every aspect of learning. With weekly Chapel gatherings and connections to faith drawn in every classroom, LCA faculty take the work of spiritual formation seriously, seeking to develop faithful stewards and leaders of the emerging generation.

Our MakerSpace gives students interdisciplinary opportunities to experiment and explore. Career Exploration Trips connect students with local companies/industries including Mass General Hospital and Massachusetts State House. At LCA, students get hands-on experience and have the opportunity to discover their God-given gifts.
