La Academia works to partner with many organizations to provide as many opportunities as possible for our students. Below you’ll find instructions to apply!

La Academia Partnership Charter School (LAPCS), the only tuition-free charter school in Lancaster County, offers students in grades 6 - 12 a unique opportunity to focus on 21st-century learning. La Academia is preparing students to be global citizens and highly skilled workers. Small classes, hands-on learning, and linkages to local employers make La Academia unique and highly relevant for today’s learners.

Our charter school currently has an enrollment of 200 students in grades 6-12. New students are selected by random lottery. LAPCS does not discriminate against students or others on the basis of sex, religion, color, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, physical, mental or emotional, or learning disability or handicap. We welcome and value differences among people.
