Lorain County Academy
The Lorain County Academy (LCA) is an alternative school collaboration involving the Educational Service Center of Lorain County, 12 Lorain County school districts, the Lorain County Joint Vocational School, the County Juvenile Justice System, and 17 human service agencies. Students in grades 7 through 9 may be referred to LCA when they are in need assistance beyond what is provided in a traditional school setting. In partnership with the family, home school, and the community mental health agencies, LCA works to support the social, emotional and academic needs of the students. The LCA goal is to prepare students for a healthy, productive and successful transition back to their home school and into adulthood. The Academy is appropriate and meaningful for selected students that are not achieving and/or behaving in a manner within the regular school setting to be successful. read moreLorain County Virtual Learning Academy
The Lorain County Virtual Learning Academy is an On-Line education program for learners in grades 4-12 that allows them to learn at their own pace, receive a structured home-schooling education, meet a credit-recovery need, attend school from home, supplement their regular school program with courses they cannot schedule at school, achieve additional credits enabling them to qualify for early graduation, receive remediation credit for previously failed courses, or to access an academic alternative which meets an individual need. Students remain enrolled in their School of Residence and LCVLA costs are met by their School of Residence if their school Guidance Counselor approves the LCVLA enrollment. Students may elect to take LCVLA courses on their own or enroll in the LCVLA full-time, and pay their own course-expenses. Students are guided and their school-work evaluated by a licensed LCVLA Education Professional (teacher holding an Ohio Teaching License with fingerprint/background-check approvals). read more
Lorain County Juvenile Court Residential Facilities Education Programs
The purpose of our Education Program is to ensure the highest level of learning we can provide for all students.
Students are placed in the education program in Detention Home, Stepping Stone/Pathways or Turning Point upon facility-intake by juvenile authorities or a responsible Lorain County agency. Attending school is a required activity every week-day; 5½ hours of direct-instruction is given daily to each resident by a licensed, HQT education professional. If the School of Residence or School of Enrollment wishes to send or pick-up school-work for the resident, this can easily be accommodated by our teachers.
Otherwise, an Ohio Academic Standards-focused curriculum in Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies & Technology is followed by our teachers with the goal that each resident will experience gains in grade-level achievement while in residence. Transcripts are sent to the student’s School of Residence or School of Enrollment Guidance Office upon release so that a smooth transition is achieved and academic credit earned in our teaching facilities is accepted. read more
