our story

Learning Beyond Academy’s story is one of dreams, faith, hard work, and lots of determination. In 2001 the idea of LBA was birthed, as a dream, in the heart of James and Christina Weidner.

Learning Beyond Academy的故事是梦想，信念，努力工作和决心之一。 在2001年，LBA的想法在James和Christina Weidner的心中成为一个梦想。

In September 2010, LBA was then launched, with one teacher and 7 students, in the basement of villa. Mrs. Weidner, as School Director, sought out a handful of like-minded parents who had the same dreams and goals for their children and asked them to join LBA’s new program. By the end of the first year LBA had 17 student and 3 full time teaches. The second year LBA moved into our current facility and started the year with 6 full time teachers and 36 students. Each year LBA grew exponentially and continued to add facility space and team members to facilitate the growing program. With the help of the team members, the school policies, curriculum and teaching philosophy was firmly established. The initial team members, in the first five years, helped to shape the school’s mission and culture that are now in place today. Today the dream has grown to be a full academic program with approximately 350 students in our Pre-Kindergarten, Primary, High School, and English studies tracks. LBA celebrated our first senior graduate on 2016/2017 school year. 

在第一年年底，LBA有17名学生和3名全职教学人员。 第二年，LBA进入我们目前的设施，并开始了6名全职教师和36名学生。 每年LBA呈指数级增长，并继续增加设施空间和团队成员，以促进日益增长的计划。 在团队成员的帮助下，学校的政策，课程和教学理念牢固树立起来。 初期的团队成员，头五年，帮助塑造了今天的学校使命和文化。 今天，梦想已经成长为一个完整的学术课程，约有350名学生在我们的幼儿园，小学，高中和英语学习的路途中。 LBA将庆祝我们在2016/2017学年的第一名高年级毕业生。

Today, LBA is led by a Board of Directors, with a School Principal leading the day to day operations. 

今天，LBA由董事会领导，校长负责日常运行。
