Nurturing Spiritual and Character Development...

The LCA Chapel is the site for class-level masses, prayer groups,
reconciliation services and other holy celebrations.

Lakewood Catholic Academy offers children and families of all faiths a strong, supportive environment in which to nurture spiritual and character development.

Central to our curriculum is our religious instruction in which our students learn the truths and values of our Catholic faith. All students, regardless of religious affiliation or denomination, take religious instruction and attend all liturgy and prayer service. Students have the opportunity to help plan liturgy and to participate in various roles during Mass. Students participate in grade-level liturgies on a regular basis and in all-school liturgies on Holy Days of Obligation.

Special prayer services are held throughout the year and morning/afternoon prayer is a part of our daily PA announcements. Children are given the opportunity for reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation twice a year.

A child's Catholic experience at Lakewood Catholic Academy features the following:

• Catechesis of the Good Shepherd – a Montessori-based approach to religious education based in Scripture and Liturgy for children in grades kindergarten through six.

• Class-level Masses & prayer services in a beautiful Chapel and periodic all-school Masses throughout the year.

• A firm but loving approach to discipline based on the acclaimed Love & Logic program.

• A broad range of service opportunities for children of all ages and a unique Social Justice scholarship opportunity for students during their 8th grade year.

• An unwavering commitment to developing young people into tomorrow’s leaders.
