Training Minds. Improving Hearts. LCCA is a public (tuition-free) charter school serving Kindergarten through 9th grade students. We will add 10th grade in the fall of 2022. LCCA is a great option for families who prefer a content-rich curriculum in the liberal arts and sciences with a focus on character development and a teacher-led learning environment. LCCA is an affiliate school of the Barney Charter School Initiative (BCSI), an outreach of Hillsdale College. The BCSI team is assisting LCCA in creating and implementing challenging, engaging academic programs, as well as providing teacher training that will serve as the foundation for a liberal and civic education. This classical curriculum emphasizes the core disciplines of math, science, history, and language arts, including phonics and writing, with significant attention to music, art, and foreign language. Each of these disciplines is taught with an emphasis on the history and traditions of American citizens as the inheritors of Western civilization. The BCSI learning model has already seen substantial success throughout the United States, with 20 affiliate schools currently serving more than 11,000 students across the country. LCCA is the first BCSI affiliate school in Wisconsin, and the first K-12 public classical charter school in the state.
