Finding the Right Path for Your Child
Every journey at LMA begins with a conversation. Use the guide below to see which of our programs aligns best with where your child is right now and where they want to go.
Is my child ready for…
- The Elementary Program?
- Is your child bright and curious but struggling with the “building blocks” of reading, writing, or math?
- Have you noticed a decline in their confidence or a loss of interest in going to school?
- Our Focus: Restoring the joy of learning while building rock-solid foundational skills.
- The Middle School Program?
- Is your child feeling overwhelmed by the increased organizational demands of traditional middle school?
- Are they struggling to manage their time, assignments, or social-emotional changes?
- Our Focus: Explicitly teaching executive function and fostering independence.
- The High School Program?
- Is your student looking for a flexible path that bridges the gap between high school and the “real world”?
- Do they need a supportive environment to master self-advocacy before college or a career?
- Our Focus: Career readiness, dual enrollment, and empowering students to own their future.
Your 3-Step Journey to LMA
We’ve made our inquiry process as supportive and transparent as our classrooms. Here’s how to get started:
1. Reach Out
Fill out our Simple Online Inquiry Form or give us a call at 616-464-3330.
We’ll reach out for a brief “Discovery Call” to hear your story, understand your child’s needs, and answer your initial questions.
2. See it in Action: The Tour a.k.a. The “grown-ups” meeting
We invite you – and the other important grown-ups in your child’s life – to schedule an in-person meeting with our CEO and school counselor to discuss your student and answer your questions. Nothing replaces the feeling of walking through our halls and seeing firsthand how our small class sizes and Project-Based Learning come to life.
3. The “Shadow Day” & Application
After the in-person meeting, and we feel LMA is a great match, we’ll invite your child to spend a day with us. This “Shadow Day” allows them to experience the community and our teaching style in a low-pressure environment before moving forward with the formal application.
