Our Goal
Lopez Academy preps students for college and workforce readiness by age 16. Contemporary Christian Education
Think Classical Christian Education, but focused on making kids “future-proof” and “robot-ready.” Contemporary Christian Education keeps the same commitment to truth, virtue, and a biblical worldview — but applies it to entrepreneurship, technology, and real-world experience, directly to the world students are actually entering.
Same foundation, different focus.
New One-Room Schoolhouse
Built on the historic one-room schoolhouse model, our schooling is simple, skill-based, and homeschool-friendly. Of course, we’ve updated the schoolhouse model so kids learn marketable skills in a modern way.
We don’t let kids get lost in a system. Instead of being shaped by peer culture and passive learning, they’re guided by adults—parents and teachers—who help them grow.
A small team of classroom coaches teaches around 20 - 25 kids, creating a community of friends for your kids in a learning space where kids are supported by Christians.
Freedom To
Learn Well
Lopez Academy does school differently. For us, this means changing how we measure learning and success in school.
No Grades or Tests
Kids are brilliant. In fact, they were learning long before factory schooling introduced grades and standardized tests — systems that just get in the way of real education.
We don’t hand out grades or tests. Instead, parents and teachers evaluate a child’s growth through classroom observations, progress reports, and student work portfolios showing what kids have done in school.
No Homework
“Do school. Kick butt. Go home.”
Our students work hard while they’re here, so we don’t send homework home. Kids are free for family time, church, sports, band, and whatever activities they love.
No Behavior Cards/Charts
Discipline should strengthen students, not shame them. That’s why we use Physical Education as a way to correct behavior. It’s healthy, builds grit, and helps kids realign themselves through push-ups, jumping jacks, sit-ups, and other P.E. exercises.
Rather than afterschool detentions, missed lunches, extra homework, behavior cards that make kids feel bad, or constant calls home that stress them out and ruin your day, a good workout is our disciplinary policy.
Future-Proof
& Robot-Ready
We believe education shouldn’t delay life—it should launch it. Many students spend years waiting to start, but we prepare kids to step into the real world now. By high school, we help them pursue college credit, gain work experience, learn trades, or build their own pathways, supported closely by their parents and Lopez Academy.
We Prepare Students Early 🚀
Historically, by ages 12–14, young people were learning trades and working with adults, and by 16, many were entering university or beginning real careers. At Lopez Academy, we restore that standard.
We Get Them Ready For The Smart World🤖
AI is reshaping the workforce, and we don’t ignore it—we train students to use it. They learn to leverage technology as a tool, so they stay ahead of it—not replaced by it.
We Bring the World Into the Classroom 🌎
Our onsite-online teaching gives kids access to powerful online learning while staying in a structured, supervised environment. They are guided daily by teachers and our principal.
We Build Real-World Capability 🔧
Students don’t just learn about life—they practice it. They build, fix, create, and work on real problems, developing skills that actually matter outside of school.
We Produce Results That Matter 🥇
Graduates leave with real skills, real learning, and real direction. They’re not asking, “What’s next?”—they already know because they’ve already started, stepping into adulthood with confidence and without piling up debt.
