President’s Welcome

It is my joy and privilege to serve as the president of a school where faith, academic excellence, and character development come together to shape the next generation of Christ-centered leaders. At Latham Christian Academy, we believe in nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—in an environment grounded in Biblical truth and love.
 

Our dedicated staff partners with families to foster a learning atmosphere that challenges students academically while encouraging them to grow in their relationship with the Lord. Whether your child is entering kindergarten or preparing for high school, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and spiritually enriching experience.
 

We invite you to be a part of this vibrant community. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education and spiritual formation. May God bless you and your family.
 

In Christ,
Pastor Samuel Kupeyan
President, Latham Christian Academy

About LCA

Founded in 1979, Latham Christian Academy is a distinctly Christian academic institution dedicated to educating and training children from a God-centered worldview. Partnering closely with committed Christian families, we strive to provide an environment where faith and learning grow hand in hand.

Our mission is for every student to come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, grow in Christlikeness, and live a life of faithful service to Him. Every aspect of our education—from academics to extracurriculars—is rooted in Scripture and carried out to the glory of God.

We celebrated our first graduating class in 1987 and continue to build on that legacy, preparing students not just for college and careers, but for a lifetime of impact and discipleship.
