Belong and Be Legendary

Students feel welcome the moment they step into our warm, family-like environment. As they embrace a sense of belonging, students know they have found the place that will bring out their best.

LPA prides itself on giving our students the attention they need and deserve with small classes, tutoring, college preparation, internships, and proximity to the Department of Education’s successful trade skills program: Coop Tech—right in our building.

Their high school journey begins with rigorous academics taught by educators who accompany them on their paths to success. They find camaraderie in team sports and hone current interests while developing new ones via our many extracurriculars.
