Why LISA works for me? I really can’t describe my answer. It’s almost like that saying “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone,” because that’s exactly how it is. But if I try to think about it, I could just say: If I left, some of the many things that I would lose [...]
The Chance to Be Myself
March 17, 2011
I first came to LISA Academy because it was convenient. My mom could drop my best friend and me off at school on her way to work, and one of the teachers, a woman I have known my whole life, would bring us home when school let out. That was in sixth grade. Now however, [...]
LISA Academy is, admittedly, not your typical high school. However, LISA offers a very different kind of high school experience compared to regular, large, impersonal public schools. This is why LISA Academy works for me. When I first came to LISA, I was a little sixth grader in a new school with new people, new [...]
Forever Thankful

LISA Academy works for me because it is a school that provides a safe and enjoyable learning experience. Because it’s a smaller school, students are able to feel more connected to their peers and teachers. LISA is a school where students can stay informed about what’s going on around them rather than lost in the [...]
Expanded my Mindset

Why does LISA Academy work for you?” When I was first presented with this question, I had no idea what I was going to say. I wasn’t really sure why LISA works for me; all I knew was that, at LISA, I didn’t hate going to school anymore. I first came to LISA in the [...]
I am now finishing up my sixth year at LISA Academy. At first, I wasn’t too excited, but on my first day, after seeing how nice the teachers were and how many friends I made, I became excited to go to school every day; and I don’t know how many people can say that about [...]
LISA Academy works for me because we are really like a big family. This is my first year here, and I have watched my classroom grow as a family and become closer and closer. We are all able to laugh at ourselves and laugh at each other. I have been to other schools and never [...]
LISA Academy works for me for a few reasons. There are currently four siblings including me that go here, and it makes it easy for all of us to go to one school. It is also a short drive from my house. LISA also works for me because it is a very safe school. I [...]
LISA Academy works for me because it is small. I went to a larger school all through elementary school and I had lots of issues at the school. I have great relationships with my teachers as many students here do. To them I am not just another random child, they know my name; they know [...]
