Enrollment Policy

The Liberty Center Digital Academy (LCDA) offers a non-traditional school designed to serve students of various backgrounds and skill levels. Our goal for this program is to offer a distance learning program to aid students in completing the coursework necessary to obtain a high school diploma.
Students who are eligible to enroll in LCDA are:
• Students already successfully learning at home but whose home schooling will be complimented with LCDA/TRECA’s comprehensive, formal, and standards-based online curriculum.
• Students who are performing below grade level and who wish to focus their education exclusively on an independent online course of study, starting at the students’ current skill and knowledge level and building forward at a pace determined by the student in collaboration with online instructors and the LCDA Coordinator.
• Students who have been removed from school for disciplinary reasons but who are committed to, and capable of, regaining their focus on academic pursuits in the independent and solitary context of online instruction delivered in their homes.
Additionally, the student’s enrollment and successful participation in LCDA are predicated upon the following:
• The parent/guardian is encouraged to contact the coordinator weekly to discuss the overall progress of the student. Students who do not maintain adequate progress may be urged or required to attend meetings with a hired tutor.
• Students must be committed to an education that is exclusively delivered online which lacks face-to-face interaction with instructors and other staff.
• Students and parents/guardians will be required to choose the enrollment option they wish to participate in and abide by the guidelines set for each enrollment option.
• Students enrolling in the LCDA Lab option must be present in the lab for at least three hours a day, Monday-Thursday each week. Students will be required to abide by Liberty Center School’s attendance policy. A sign-in/out sheet will be provided by and tracked by the program coordinator. Students will be required to choose a time slot to attend each day. (Times may be altered slightly at the discretion of the parent/guardian and coordinator.)
• As Liberty Center Schools is the sponsor of the Liberty Center Digital Academy, students of LCDA will be required to follow all rules and regulations of Liberty Center Schools, some of which are provided within this handbook.
