Our Vision
A bus full of students. A school full of stories.
At LCA, we believe some of the most important learning happens far beyond the classroom walls. It happens at the tide pool, in the forest, on the museum floor, and on the long, laughter-filled rides home.
Right now, every field trip means a juggling act of parent drivers, rental quotes, and last-minute cancellations. A school bus of our own changes that. It means more trips, more places, and more chances for our students to see God’s world up close.
This campaign is about giving our students room to explore — and giving our school the freedom to say yes.
Why a Bus?
Three reasons this matters
A “new to us” 24-passenger bus, plus driver, is a modest, practical investment with an outsized impact on what our students get to experience.
01
More Field Trips
With our own bus ready to go, learning can move beyond the classroom more often. Students can explore, discover, and connect their lessons to the real world, without the extra cost, scheduling delays, or outside rental coordination.
02
Stronger Community
From sports tournaments to retreat weekends to choir performances, our students travel together as one school, building friendships that last a lifetime.
03
Saving On Costs
Owning our own bus replaces years of escalating rental costs and frees up parent volunteers, putting our resources back where they belong: with the students.
