Cultivating [ spaces ]

Behind every thriving classroom is a teacher who is continually learning, growing, and being encouraged.

In our newest episode of Cultivating Spaces, we discuss teacher mentorship, professional development, and the unique culture that helps LCA educators flourish in their calling. Join us for a conversation about why supporting teachers matters—and how it impacts students every day.

In this special episode of Cultivating [Spaces], listen in on a dynamic conversation with Lexington Christian Academy alumni at the annual Career Showcase, featuring Elizabeth Nalunga, Fred DiStefano, Stephanie Coppola, and Michael Burrowes, and moderated by Head of School John Khouri. 

Hear firsthand how their educational journeys, career callings, and LCA experiences helped shape who they are today, offering thoughtful, practical, and deeply encouraging insight into what the future can hold—because at LCA, becoming truly begins here.

In an era where conversations can quickly become polarized, how can we equip young people to engage in thoughtful, respectful dialogue? How can we teach the next generation to stand firm in their convictions while also listening with empathy and understanding? And what role does a Christian education play in shaping students into future leaders who can navigate complex issues in our world with wisdom and grace?  Two of LCA’s beloved teachers, who also co-lead LCA's Model UN club, Emma Witmer and Anneke Lujan, dive into answering these questions with their unique expertise and wisdom. 

For parents and students alike, the college search can be an overwhelming and daunting process! So, hear some words of wisdom from LCA's Director of College Advising, Rob Scaro, and be encouraged. Take a deep breath. Bust the college myths. Learn what's coming. Be prepared. And know that we are here to walk alongside students as they find the very best fit for them in the next step of their journey beyond the hallways of LCA!
