Lake Travis Christian Academy is part of the network of over 300 Acton Academies around the world. We follow the same exact Learning Design (curriculum) and learning model that the founders helped create at the original Acton Academy campus.
Lake Travis Christian Academy offers rolling enrollment for Pre-K to 7th grade.
We respect and incorporate Maria Montessori’s philosophy, but we are not a Montessori school. We also use the latest interactive technologies, hands-on projects and the Socratic Method for discussions.
We operate on an 11 month calendar, but our flexible program allows families to travel together during the year, without sacrificing education. Each session is 6-7 weeks with 1 week off in-between. We also take the majority of LTISD holidays.
We believe that every person has a special calling in life, which must be identified and lived out with integrity and purpose, in order to live a satisfying and fulfilled life. Our mission is to prepare your child for his or her special journey by helping them discover their God-given talents.
Lake Travis Christian Academy is a Christian organization. The staff have all signed a statement of faith, but families do not have to be Christian to be a part of the community. We expose children to the importance of mindfulness, ethical principles, and the significance of religion in history and the development of society, and we value and respect each individual’s beliefs.
We welcome Heroes and families from ALL backgrounds.
Yes the school is accredited through the International Association of Learner Driven Schools.
At Lake Travis Christian Academy, we believe in the power of balance. Using the incredible, self-paced eLearning tools now available, we are able to provide the rigor needed for learning math, vocabulary, spelling and grammar in about 90 minutes each day, while freeing up the rest of the day for engaging, project-based learning. The two are highly complementary.

Tuition for each learner is $1,100/month for 10 months and a $1,000 Enrollment Fee. We offer tuition reduction for qualifying families. We work with each family once the application/interview is complete and find a solution that works for everyone. It is an open discussion where you would go over your budget with your family and then we would discuss the options for what will work best. Our goal is to make this type of learning environment available to all families from all backgrounds that believe LTCA is a good fit and that we believe are a good fit for this learning environment/community.
We believe that students learn best when working with learners younger and older than themselves rather than split up into groups based solely on age. In addition to individualized curriculum, all ages of students work together in groups.
Students celebrate the mastery of tools, skills, and character by earning badges, assembling portfolios, and taking part in public exhibitions. Public exhibitions allow students to present work to experts, customers, or the public for a real-world test. Parents use our online platform JourneyTracker and school app (with permission from their learner) to monitor progress in Core Skills like reading, writing, math, and character development. Electronic and hard copy Portfolios capture rough drafts, photos, videos, and other creative work.
We believe each of our students will find a passion — something they love and have a God given talent to do. They will use this gift to serve others and fulfill a need they are passionate about in the world. This may be by becoming a shoe-shiner who tells stories and makes people’s day just by doing his job with love and vigor; it may be by becoming a coach who sees the light in a child’s eyes and guides her to pursue a dream; it may be by becoming a father or mother who leads a family on a Hero’s Journey; it may be becoming an entrepreneur or business leader guided by compassion and integrity; or it may be by becoming an artist or writer who brings beauty to people’s lives.
