Lake Lure Classical Academy’s (LLCA) mission is to offer 

a classical,

knowledge-based education 

that fosters critical thinking, civic responsibilities, and virtue for all.

Greetings, Raptor Families!

We are looking forward to welcoming all of our Raptors back to school! To ensure that we all have a smooth start to the school year, we have put together this at-a-glance, back-to-school informational sheet. Please mark your calendars! 

Choose from two sessions: 10:00 or 4:00

Also, please remember to bring the following items for your kindergartner: birth certificate, immunization records, and NC Health Assessments.

Our open house is scheduled for August 11th with two sessions. The first will begin at 10:00 AM, and the second will begin at 6:00. At the beginning of each session, everyone will gather inside the Raptor Center for a few brief remarks of welcome from Ms. Cohen, our school director. Following that, please feel free to explore the school, meet your student’s teachers, and visit the many information tables in the Raptor Center. Here are a few that will be available:

• Uniform Sales
• Registration Information
• Student Parking Information (All students who plan to drive to school will be required to fill out a student driver registration form and pay a $25.00 parking fee.)
• Community Services
• Bus Transportation Registration
• Raptor Care Registration
• PTO 
• School Pictures
• Gospel Club 
• Junior Olympiad
• Backyard Sports

Freshmen Orientation will take place on the 12th from 9:00 to 12:00. The students will have a chance to get to know their classmates better, engage in some fun activities, meet their teachers, and enjoy a pizza lunch. Orientation is optional, but highly recommended. 

We are very excited for the first day of our 2022-2023 school year! It is vitally important that your student be present on the first day of school and for the first twenty days of school. This is how the State of North Carolina disperses funds for your student’s education. If your student is not present at school, LLCA will not receive funding for your student. 

The state and federal governments require LLCA, a public charter school, to collect and report on certain information. We also have our own school policies that require parent signatures. If you have not already completed this form, please do so at your earliest convenience.

Remember that LLCA is a school that requires uniforms for all students in grades K-12.

If you have questions about specific uniform vendors or need information about our gently used uniforms that are available, please contact the school office at (828) 625-9292.
