About Lake County Christian Academy
Lake County Christian Academy, a ministry of Lake County Baptist Church, is a private, Christian school located in Waukegan, Illinois. Currently, we enroll about 150 students, providing academics, sports and social activities for children 4 years old through 12th grade. We believe optimum Christian education is the result of the threefold cord of home, school and church working together in harmony and our highest priority is to give Christ the preeminence in the total environment of our Christian school.
Building Christian character, instilling moral values, and establishing biblical ethics are distinguishing marks of a Christian education as we endeavor to assist parents in shaping the life of a young person. This sets Christian education apart from a secular education. While secular schools can and do attempt to provide some moral, ethical, and character training, this training is not based on biblical principles and often does not measure up to the values of many Christian families. For this reason we are committed to providing a high quality, Christian education and strongly believe this distinction offers a compelling argument for children to remain in Christian education throughout their schooling.
Even greater than this benefit, a Christian education provides a solid philosophical basis that affects every aspect of the educational experience and influences a child’s entire worldview and paradigm for life. There are many dangers inherent in secular education that expose children on a daily basis to humanistic and evolutionary thought, liberal agendas, socialistic dogma, revisionist history, postmodern living, and other unbiblical philosophies. While a few people in these schools fight against these trends, it is impossible to overcome such powerful influences.
So, is the sacrifice of Christian education worth it? We believe without question that it is and is, in fact, essential to the upbringing of a Christian young person. We would like to encourage you to enroll now and allow us to assist you in meeting the biblical mandate to bring up your children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
Non-Discriminatory Policy: Lake County Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admission policies, discipline policies, athletic programs, or other school programs. Students are admitted on the basis of good character and school record. At this time, we do not offer a full special education department, but may be able to offer accommodations for children with special needs.
