Lopez Island Academy is a private nonprofit organization (501-3C status pending) that is being formed to give the students on Lopez Island the option of an alternative style of education. We plan to be supported by tax deductible donations, tuition and volunteers. If you would like to help promote traditional Christian education on Lopez Island with your time or financial support, please let us know.
Lopez Island Academy will offer education to grades K through 12. We will purchase our curriculum through the accredited (MSA-CESS and FACCS) A Beka Academy Master Video Program. A Beka Academy (501C-3 nonprofit) has produced books and programs for over 40 years. The curriculum is designed to provide the highest academic standards, with a foundation of Christian beliefs and values. We anticipate working with the public school to provide additional academic and athletic opportunities.
Lessons will be given by DVD or by online streaming of expertly produced actual classroom environments. The academy will employ a full-time administrator, with volunteers assisting in the monitoring of classes as well as helping students with tests and workbook lessons.
Currently the Lopez Island Academy intends to lease a facility for the school to meet. We have a few options and are researching which will be the best fit. . Classes are planned to start in the fall of 2015, and will be conducted five days a week, six hours per day, continuing through the spring of 2016. Future school years will follow a similar schedule.
Lopez Island Academy admits students of any race, color, national origin and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
