Professional Schools Program

Education, Exploration, and Experience

Legacy Christian Academy’s Upper School consists of four Professional Schools: Arts & Humanities, Business, Medicine, and Engineering & Technology. Beyond the foundational 22 credits in Liberal Arts, each professional school has unique course options for an additional 5 required graduation credits. LCA distinguishes itself through areas of concentration and provides integrated opportunities for experiential learning, symposiums, and internships.

The Professional Schools Program (PSP) enhances student engagement, enthusiasm, and insight as they explore personalized opportunities aligned with their interests, passions, and convictions. Ultimately the underlying mission of our PSP is to allow students to explore God’s leading and calling on their lives. Philosophically and practically, the PSP supports LCA’s Portrait of a Graduate as we raise up Christian thinkers and leaders with these goals in mind: Spiritual Formation, developing a love for Lifelong Learning, and Kingdom Impact.

Education, Exploration, and Experience

A student’s journey with the Professional Schools Program begins their freshman year as they gain exposure to PSP courses like Introduction to Communications and Principles of Applied Engineering in addition to completing an aptitude and career discovery assessment.

As part of the Upper School’s commitment to academic excellence, priorities include offering students hands-on learning, precision certifications, and real-world experiences in their area of interest through courses like Business Concepts, Introduction to Health Medicine, and Mock Trial. Additionally, students will hear from and interact with top-level professionals during PSP symposiums and activity periods.

Senior Capstone Course:

Seniors pursuing a Capstone course can opt for either an Internship or Independent Research. Internships immerse students in the work environ- ment, offering firsthand experience and mentorship related to their potential field of study. Independent Research projects range from recording and produc- ing an EP in music to implementing a school-wide environmental initiative.

Internship Opportunities:

Student interns collaborate with professionals in their respective industries, gaining valuable insights into the requirements for success. This experience enhances students’ decision-making abilities regarding their academic and career pursuits.

Independent Study:

Independent Study challenges students to deeply explore a career-oriented topic, culminating in a research document reflecting their efforts. Students may choose to delve into a current issue impacting a corporation or industry of interest, investigate a future career path, or sharpen their skills by creating and presenting a final product.

“My capstone internship with Dr. Catherine Holt and her sonographers did in fact teach me that God really does care about us. He made us special in our own ways. I saw and heard the heartbeat that babies have in the first trimester. This experience was invaluable in shaping my Biblical worldview.” – Kaitlyn White, School of Medicine

“The capstone program gave me invaluable insight to what I wanted to do in college and beyond. Without capstone, I would have entered college completely lost as to what I wanted to study, as well as what I want to do in the next 10 years.”- Kyle Brown, School of Engineering

“I learned many new skills during my Capstone, but one skill stands out: collaboration. Collaboration is essential in the creation of an excellent experience and product.” – Cade Ross, School of Business

“The Capstone Internship gave me a meaningful experience and skills that have shaped me into a very responsible, professional, driven, focused, and flexible individual, and for that I am very grateful.” – Ashton Young, School of Arts & Humanities
