In addition, the school offers attractive scholarship opportunities and financial aid programs.
The outstanding athletic programs include a baseball team ranked fifth in the state in Class 7A, according to the 2022 Alabama Sports Writers Association Rankings.

At Lindsay Lane Christian Academy, the students wear school uniforms, which the school believes foster a sense of unity, school pride and community spirit. Nestled behind Lindsay Lane Baptist Church, the sprawling campus is surrounded by lush tree lines and well-manicured grounds. The student-to-teacher ratio is about 5 to 1, allowing educators to focus on each student’s specific needs and learning preferences.

I've been thoroughly unimpressed with my child's high school education at the Den campus. Teachers are moms and dads who are not certified. LLCA has more of a homeschool co-op feel than a "college prep school" or even just a normal public school. Apathy abounds, and it starts at the top with Administration. Emails go unanswered, nothing is communicated clearly or in a timely manner, and it just leads to frustration. My child is embarrassed that he goes here, and we're looking elsewhere for the future.

Good school filled with great people. A christian school filled with teachers who actually care about you!

I have had a pretty mediocre experience at Lindsay Lane overall I think just going to a larger public school would have benefited me more in terms if opportunities to get many certificates and take harder courses.

Other students are allowed to video tape your child reading and make fun of him for stuttering and there are no repercussions. Depe...

This is our 3rd year with LLCA (K4-1st grade) and we have had nothing but positive experiences.

(Not to m...

The lack of professionalism of the administration is astonishing. The leadership struggles to make wise choices on a consistent basis and feels the need to change school policies depending on the demands of demanding parents.

I absolutely love LLCA! Our daughter attended the Pre-K class & she loved it just as much as we did. Affordable care with AMAZING, loving teachers! The teachers truly care for your children!
