Our Staff and Faculty

The faculty and staff of Littlestown Christian Academy are comprised of individuals who have answered God’s call to Christian schooling. Every member is a committed Christian, having made a personal decision to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Daily they serve our students, not only as educators, but as mentors and Christian role models. The faculty averages more than 14 years in teaching experience and 6 years at LCA which not only points to an experienced staff, but a dedicated and loyal staff.

LCA is committed to staff development. In addition to attendance at Educator’s Conventions, four or five days are set aside each year for continuing education in educational and Biblical studies. Our administrator is certified by ACSI to teach continuing education courses that are recognized for teacher certification. In recent years, five of our instructional staff were involved in college level courses, four at the graduate level. Every teacher is required to advance his or her education. ACSI certification is the required credential that all teachers must pursue. Each teacher has their own webpage that highlights their class, curriculum, activities, schedule, etc. These pages are valuable to the students and parents. You may visit each teacher's webpage by clicking on the link in their profile below.
