LANCASTER COUNTY ACADEMY
Opened in November 1993, the Lancaster County Academy is a unique alternative public school located in the Park City Center mall. The academy is a business and education partnership formed by participating Lancaster County school districts, the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit, and General Growth, Inc., with PA Department of Education approval. Students ages 16-21 are residents of a participating district. Maximum enrollment is 120 students. Average class size is 30 students per 3 hour session. Evening classes are less crowded. Many students come to LCA after dropping out of school and given time, come to the conclusion that their decision to leave school was not in their best interest. Others are still enrolled, but are struggling. The reason for lack of success in traditional school varies greatly. Some who leave and begin to work full time make financial commitments that bind them to a job. Others are pregnant or parenting. Others have physical or mental health issues that have interfered with regular school attendance. Those battling substance abuse(drugs and/or alcohol) find a fresh start after rehabilitation stays. The lack of a typical high school social strata also helps the adjustment of those who have not met with success in regular high school setting. The Academy's self-paced academic curriculum fits the needs of students who are released in mid-school year from court placements. No matter what the reason that regular school was not working, the Lancaster County Academy gives opportunity to restart a stalled education.
