Academy Fund
Your contribution to LFA's annual fund, known as the Academy Fund, will have an immediate impact on the education of LFA students today by providing essential support for important curricular offerings as well as opportunities for students beyond the classroom.  The Academy Fund touches every aspect of life on campus, and through your contributions, you can personally ensure that LFA continues to provide a first-rate education.
 
Your gift to the Academy Fund makes great things happen at LFA everyday!
Here are just a few examples of how your support of the Academy Fund impacts the LFA experience: 

Meaningful, Real-world Student Experiences
The Academy Fund makes it possible to offer deeply enriching academic experiences that take place outside the classroom--in Chicago and beyond.  Last year, 14 AP Spanish students completed part of their final exam in rural Patacancha, Peru.

Faculty Professional Development
The Academy Fund supports professional development opportunities for our faculty, enabling them to bring innovation and best-practices into the classroom.  English teacher Ann Frkovich's experience in Ghana has allowed her to create an inter-disciplinary senior elective, Literature of Rebellion and Social Change.

Financial Assistance
The Academy Fund helps support financial assistance to highly deserving and motivated students who might not otherwise be able to benefit from an LFA education, creating a dynamic learning experience for all Academy students.
