ACADEMICS

HISTORY
Lee’s Summit Academy was established in 2001 under its original name, World Revival Church Academy. What began as an educational center that used online curriculum, with an in class teacher, turned into our current three schools. From World Revival Church Academy, we named our school Libby Lane Academy, because we were located on the street of the same name. With the increased growth and notability in the community, we determined the need for one more name change to better suit the needs of our ever- growing community. Lee’s Summit Academy is an educational center that houses the Libby Lane Preschool, the Libby Lane Montessori and the Lee’s Summit Academy. We have the honor of servicing students from 18 months to 12th grade in our stand-alone facility. We are a teacher facilitated environment that has a variety of electives, and sustained growth. What started as a 2 room school, is now a 38,000 square foot facility.
SAFETY
In today’s world, school safety is an unfortunate issue that must be addressed and placed as a high priority. Your children will be kept safe throughout the school day with the effective, precautionary safety measures put into place at the school. Lee's Summit Academy employs a full time licensed security enforcement officer on campus. The security officer ensures the safety of students, faculty, and visitors inside the school and their surrounding premises. Lee’s Summit Academy also has state of the art security cameras with alarm monitoring system.
EXPERIENCED TEACHERS
Our teachers are a hallmark of Lee's Summit Academy. Experienced and compassionate, they have a genuine concern for the progress of each child. Experienced teachers are more effective at raising student achievement and they have better classroom management which leads to a better overall learning environment. Plus, our low student-teacher ratio makes Lee's Summit Academy a top contender among private schools.
ENRICHMENT COURSES
Electives such as band, vocal, art, drum fit, drama, Spanish, robotics, physical education, public speaking and several other will further enhance your children’s education. Talents are discovered and developed as your kids participate in these carefully chosen electives. Home schooled students also have the opportunity to participate in electives at Lee's Summit Academy. How? Give us a call and we can explain more for you!
STANDARDIZED TESTING
At Lee's Summit Academy, your children will participate annually in national standardized testing using the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. What is Standardized Testing? It is a reliable and objective measure of student achievement. It allows the students to focus on important skills that all students need to master in order to grow in their education. Lee's Summit Academy students exceed expectations, many scoring well above the norm in several academic areas.

HIGH TECH COMMUNICATION
Sycamore, our complete online student information center, keeps you informed of your children’s daily activities, assignments and grades. It's "Pass-A-Note" feature helps promote and enable excellent parent/teacher communication. This, combined with our well-equipped computer lab, will help your student make better grades.


MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS
Requiring extra effort and teamwork, musical productions help build good character. Involvement in our productions will positively impact your children’s lives as they develop valuable skills that will last a lifetime. Participating in musical productions build self-confidence, imagination, empathy and tolerance, cooperation/collaboration, concentration, communication skills, fun, trust, memory and social awareness. Producing classics such as “Hello Dolly” and “South Pacific,” Lee's Summit Academy students put their all into this creative aspect of their education and is one of the highlights of our school.
SPRING FORMAL
Our annual Spring Formal is a social gathering that middle and high school students look forward to each and every year. Lasting memories are created at these special events for the entire family as it's for both students and parents to enjoy. There is typically a formal dinner and professional entertainment to enjoy! Again, this is one of the highlights of the year for Lee's Summit Academy students.
