Educational Framework
The mission of the Laura E. Mason Christian Academy (LEMCA) is to provide students with quality education in a Seventh-
day Adventist Christian environment that teaches that life has purpose and meaning and is to be used in service to God.
Our purpose is to:
• Acquire the knowledge and skills to succeed at the secondary level of their education
• Think creatively and not simply reflect the thoughts of others
• Function effectively as Christians by being devoted to service in a secular world
• Develop attitudes of love and respect toward the Bible
In support of this purpose, we are committed to:
• Creating a positive, caring environment where Christian love and virtue are taught by instruction and through example
• Providing a climate for young people characterized by quality instruction, high expectations, and respect for academic excellence
• Integrating Bible principles and values throughout the curriculum and providing regular opportunities for Christian service
• Seeing and treating our students as unique individuals and challenging each child spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially
• Assisting our students in accepting responsibility for their own learning and actions
• Promoting a stimulating environment for the development of curious, joyful, lifelong learners
• Maintaining close contact with parents, and the community
