LLCA staff received one-on-one training on the Character Education Program (CEP) led by LLCA School Counselor Ms. Walker, who is also teaching supplemental lessons to each grade throughout the year. School counselor visits will be monthly for kindergarten through second grades and weekly for third through eighth grades. High school students will work with the high school English teacher through online journaling and other writing assignments with occasional visits each semester by Walker.

“We are proud of the character education program and look forward to seeing the LLCA staff build a culture over time that enriches our students and community,” said Morse. “We believe this program will set our school apart and is a truly valuable investment in our students’ future in our world.”

The LLCA-CFA Core Knowledge Curriculum is designed for all students to have educational success with an emphasis on language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science, fine arts and character building. The high school program provides a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum that prepares students for a lifetime of critical thinking, self-motivated learning and active citizenship.
