"For the mind does not require filling like a bottle, but rather, like wood, it only requires kindling to create in it an impulse to think independently and an ardent desire for the truth.” -Plutarch

 

Our Mission

Lumen Gentium High School Academy provides students with an education that is distinctly Classical and deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition. Led by faculty who exemplify intellectual and moral excellence, students are engaged in a dynamic learning community devoted to the formation of the whole person, as realized through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

By fostering spirited inquiry and rigorous examination of essential and enduring texts across academic disciplines, Lumen Gentium Academy nurtures learners' discovery of timeless truths that shape the human soul. By imparting to young people the skills of lifelong learning with the best of the Catholic educational tradition, Lumen Gentium Academy prepares its students for the demands of higher education, the realization of professional aspirations, and heeding the call of God in their lives to be a light to the nations.  Our students not only learn how to identify and understand the true, the good, and the beautiful; they develop the capabilities and character necessary to pursue them and share them with the world.
