LMACS is a non-graded public high school, renowned for its strengths-based approach and transformative learning experiences. With a specialized focus on students aged 16-21 who have had some high school experience elsewhere prior to enrollment, LMACS embodies resilience and innovation. Our evolution from a dropout recovery program to a comprehensive institution is marked by a commitment to delivering a skills-driven curriculum and fostering internship and Learning Through Interests (LTI) opportunities.
At LMACS, our 140 students benefit from a well-rounded curriculum that seamlessly integrates traditional academic subjects with captivating electives and dynamic activities. Guided by student-led interests and enriched by restorative practices, our learning environment promotes engagement and empowerment. Restorative practices are a foundation of our school culture, nurturing a sense of belonging and responsibility among students and staff alike. The school day runs from 8:30AM to 3:00PM Monday through Thursday, while Fridays are half-days (8:30-11:30) dedicated to enrichment activities, workshops with community partners, one-on-one tutoring, and extended learning opportunities. Through hands-on learning and community engagement, students gain valuable insights into potential career paths and develop essential life skills.
LMACS is not just a school but a vibrant community where every individual is empowered to thrive. By celebrating our strengths, we cultivate an environment where students flourish academically, socially, and emotionally, laying the foundation for lifelong success.
LMACS is committed to ensuring that all of its programs and facilities are accessible to all. LMACS does not discriminate on the basis of age, homelessness, gender ID, sex, race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, special need, proficiency in the English language or a foreign language, or prior academic achievement. Students in grades 9-12 from linguistic, racial, and ethnic minorities; males; females; homeless students; and students with disabilities all receive the same information and academic counseling as other students on the full range of general curricular and any occupational/vocational opportunities available to them.
