Path of the Warrior
At LaGrange Academy, we believe that true leadership is cultivated through a balance of character and skill. Our Path of the Warrior program is designed to empower students with the qualities necessary for success, focusing on integrity, innovation, leadership, collaboration, compassion, and connection.
Through a thoughtfully structured curriculum, students develop these essential traits in the following courses:
- 9th Grade: Entrepreneurship – Fostering innovation and initiative as students explore the fundamentals of creating and running a business.
- 10th Grade: Public Speaking – Building confidence and communication skills that are vital for effective leadership and collaboration.
- 11th Grade: Financial Leadership – Preparing students to lead with financial literacy, decision-making, and responsible management.
- 12th Grade: Senior Capstone – A culmination of their journey, where students integrate all they’ve learned into a personalized, impactful project.
Our leadership program equips students not just for the challenges they will face in college and their careers but also for meaningful contributions to society.
Fine Arts
At LaGrange Academy, we understand the profound importance of fostering creativity and self-expression in our students. Our comprehensive visual and performing arts programs begin in Kindergarten and continue through Upper School, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to explore their artistic potential from an early age.
We believe that nurturing creativity not only enhances individual expression but also cultivates an appreciation for the arts that lasts a lifetime. Through a curriculum that integrates art into a well-rounded education, our students gain invaluable skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
At LaGrange Academy, the arts are not just an extracurricular activity but a vital part of shaping innovative thinkers and compassionate individuals prepared to thrive in a dynamic world.
Athletics
For over 50 years, the athletic program at LaGrange Academy has been a proud tradition, fostering both personal growth and school spirit. We believe that athletics are an essential extension of school life, offering students the opportunity to build character, develop teamwork, and engage in healthy competition.
Our inclusive approach encourages all students to participate, regardless of experience, with the goal of creating meaningful athletic experiences for everyone. At the heart of our program are the core values of sportsmanship, discipline, and community, which we emphasize both on and off the field.
Through athletics, LaGrange Academy not only cultivates physical fitness but also prepares students to face challenges with resilience, work collaboratively, and contribute positively to their teams and the broader school community.
