The decision reached in March by Lakeland Christian Academy and Warsaw Christian to merge into one school became official on June 30, when both schools signed the official agreement.
The document specified that the schools will form one preschool through 12th-grade school under the Lakeland Christian Academy name, effective immediately.
The preschool through 6th-grade classes will still be held at Grace Community Brethren Church’s facility, while grades 7 through 12 will continue to operate at LCA’s current location in Winona Lake. However, there are plans to be on one campus in the future.
