Louisiana Key Academy’s New Baton Rouge Campus: Focus on Developing the Whole Child

Louisiana Key Academy (LKA) has long been a beacon of hope for families with dyslexia, offering tailored educational experiences designed to help students thrive academically and personally. As part of its unwavering commitment to the development of the whole child. This year the campus has moved to a larger facility that marks a pivotal moment for LKA as it enhances both its capacity and its academic offerings to better serve the needs of the Baton Rouge community and nearby Ascension and Livingston Parishes.

The larger classrooms and athletic areas, coupled with sprawling outdoor spaces, offer an environment where students can engage in physical, social, and emotional growth alongside academic learning. This holistic approach is at the core of LKA’s mission: to empower students not just with academic knowledge but with the skills they need to succeed in all areas of life.

According to Monica Owens, principal of LKA Baton Rouge, the school’s commitment to fostering the “whole child” remains central to its educational philosophy. “We are thrilled to open our new campus and introduce programs that foster not only academic excellence but also personal growth,” she said. The new facilities include a full-size basketball gymnasium for hosting home games and physical education classes, a theater for school productions, and expansive fields that will support various athletic activities such as flag football and soccer. In addition to physical wellness, the expanded campus supports innovative academic programming that places equal emphasis on intellectual development.

LKA Baton Rouge has strengthened its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and reading programs, which are central to helping students with dyslexia succeed. The school’s individualized instruction and commitment to using the latest educational techniques ensure that students are not only keeping pace with their peers but excelling in subjects that are critical for future success.

The enhanced academic offerings currently support students from Kindergarten through Grade 10, with plans to extend through Grades 11 and 12 over the next two years. This expansion reflects LKA’s long term vision of supporting students throughout their entire educational journey, preparing them for both higher education and the broader world beyond.

Louisiana Key Academy Baton Rouge continues to be a leader in providing a nurturing, inclusive, and innovative environment where students with dyslexia can unlock their potential. For more information about enrollment and the new campus, visit www.lkaschools.com.
