family, is seen as an important part of what we like to call the
"L.E. Academy Family."

challenged in mathematics, not only through traditional teaching
methods, but also using creative learning centers and
manipulatives. Language Arts, Science, Social Studies,
Foreign Language, Library, Art, Physical Education and Computer
classes complete our exceptional curriculum, which exceeds that of
