Yes. Lehigh Valley Academy (LVA) is a public, non-profit charter school. There is no tuition, and our admissions process follows our charter and Pennsylvania Charter School Law.
Do families need to attend an Admissions Information Session to apply?
No. Attendance at an Admissions Information Session is encouraged but not required to apply. These sessions are designed to help families better understand our academic programs, school culture, and admissions process.
What happens if more students apply than there are available seats?
If applications exceed the number of available seats at a grade level, LVA conducts a random lottery.
To participate in the lottery, all required application materials must be submitted by the application deadline.
When is Lottery Day for the 2026–2027 school year?
The lottery for the 2026–2027 school year will be held on March 9, 2026.
How are students selected or placed on the waiting list?
Students are enrolled or placed on the waiting list in the following order:
Siblings of currently enrolled LVA students who live at the same address within the Bethlehem Area School District or Saucon Valley School District
If there are more siblings than openings at a grade level, a sibling lottery is held.
Siblings of currently enrolled students who reside in other school districts
Students residing in Bethlehem Area School District or Saucon Valley School District (LVA’s chartering districts)
Students from all other school districts
What is a sibling lottery?
If the number of sibling applicants at a grade level exceeds available seats, a random sibling lottery is conducted to determine enrollment and waiting list placement.
Does being on the waiting list mean my child won’t get in?
Not necessarily. Openings often occur during the school year. When a seat becomes available, the next eligible student on the waiting list for that grade is contacted.
Does the waiting list carry over from year to year?
No. Waiting lists do not carry over to the next school year. Families must submit a new application each year to participate in the lottery or remain on the waiting list.
What if I missed the application deadline?
If you missed the application deadline (March 4, 2026), you may still submit an application to be placed on the waiting list for the following fall.
How do I apply to LVA?
Applications are submitted through the Admissions Application Portal, accessible on our website: 👉 www.lvacademy.org
Can LVA verify residency during the admissions process?
Yes. Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School reserves the right to verify residency during the enrollment process in accordance with state guidelines.

At Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School, we believe learning should spark curiosity, build confidence, and prepare students to thrive in an increasingly complex world. That belief is at the heart of our International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Rooted in inquiry, creativity, and global awareness, the PYP empowers young learners to become active, engaged, and lifelong learners—both inside and outside the classroom.
Why the IB Primary Years Programme Matters
Here are ten powerful reasons why the PYP provides a strong foundation for students at LVA:
1. Caring and responsible citizens Students learn to express ideas, share opinions, and propose meaningful solutions that positively impact their lives and their communities.
2. A natural love of inquiry Children are naturally curious. The PYP nurtures that curiosity by encouraging students to ask questions, explore topics deeply, and learn through discovery.
3. Understanding a complex world Through real-world connections, students learn how ideas, people, and systems are interconnected—helping them make sense of the world around them.
4. Confident communicators Students develop strong communication skills in multiple forms—and often in more than one language—preparing them to collaborate effectively with others.
5. Learning how to learn Beyond content knowledge, students build essential skills to plan, reflect, present, and evaluate their own learning and growth.
6. International-mindedness Respect, empathy, and open-mindedness are central to the PYP. Students learn to appreciate different cultures and perspectives while strengthening their own sense of identity.
7. Seeing multiple perspectives By thinking critically and creatively, students learn to approach ideas and challenges from different viewpoints—an essential skill in today’s diverse world.
8. Students take action PYP learners believe they can make a difference. They are encouraged to take initiative, make thoughtful choices, and act responsibly in everyday life.
9. Thoughtful problem-solvers From local issues to global challenges, students learn to approach problems with imagination, resilience, and adaptability.
10. A connected learning community The PYP brings together students, educators, families, and the wider community—uniting everyone around a shared commitment to meaningful learning.
A Global Education—Right Here in the Lehigh Valley
At LVA, the IB Primary Years Programme helps students become thoughtful, confident, and compassionate learners who are prepared not only for academic success, but for life beyond the classroom.
Curious to learn more? Families are invited to explore our elementary program by registering for an Admissions Information Session.
Our first Elementary Admissions Info Session (Grades 1–5) is coming up! – This Saturday, January 10th, 2026 (9AM or 10AM) – Held via Zoom (register today and link will be sent directly to you!)
Join us to see how LVA’s IB approach supports young learners—and discover if our school is the right fit for your family.
Already part of the LVA community?
We’d love your help spreading the word!
If you know families with elementary-aged children who may be exploring school options, please share this post or invite them to join one of our upcoming Admissions Information Sessions. Your support helps more students discover the opportunities that await them at Lehigh Valley Academy.
Lehigh Valley Academy (LVA) is a public, non-profit charter school, and our admissions process follows the guidelines outlined in our charter and Pennsylvania Charter School Law. We understand that navigating school enrollment—especially a lottery process—can feel overwhelming, and we are committed to being as clear and supportive as possible every step of the way.
Admissions Information Sessions: Your First Step
Our Admissions Information Sessions are designed to help families better understand LVA’s academic programs, school culture, student expectations, and the admissions and lottery process. These sessions offer an opportunity to ask questions, meet members of our team, and learn what makes LVA unique.
Attending an information session is highly encouraged, though not required to apply. Families who miss a session can always find additional resources and information on our website.
How the Lottery Process Works
Because interest in LVA often exceeds the number of available seats, we conduct a random lottery when applications outnumber openings at a grade level.
Important reminders:
Participation in the lottery requires that all required application materials are submitted by the application deadline.
The lottery for the 2026–2027 school year will be held on March 9, 2026.
Applications submitted after the deadline are placed on the waiting list but are not included in the lottery.
Enrollment & Waiting List Priority Order
Students are enrolled or placed on the waiting list in the following order:
Siblings of currently enrolled LVA students who live at the same address within the Bethlehem Area School District or Saucon Valley School District
If there are more siblings than available seats at a grade level, a sibling lottery is conducted.
Siblings of currently enrolled students who reside in other school districts
Students residing in Bethlehem Area School District or Saucon Valley School District (LVA’s chartering districts)
Students from all other school districts
As classroom openings occur throughout the school year, families are contacted directly from the waiting list based on this order.
Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School reserves the right to verify residency during the enrollment process in accordance with state guidelines.
Why Staying on the LVA Waiting List Is Important
We know it can be difficult when your child is not selected through the lottery—but remaining on the waiting list truly matters.
Each grade level has a set enrollment cap. When a student withdraws during the school year, the next eligible student on the waiting list for that grade is contacted to fill the opening. This occurs more often than many families realize, which is why staying on the waiting list is crucial if LVA is your preferred choice.
Please keep in mind:
Waiting lists do not carry over year to year.
Families must submit a new application each school year to participate in the lottery or be placed on the waiting list.
If you missed the application deadline for this year (March 4, 2026), you may still apply to be placed on the waiting list for the following fall.
How to Apply & Stay Informed
Applications can be completed through our Admissions Application Portal, accessible on our website at www.lvacademy.org
We also strongly encourage families to attend an Admissions Information Session to gain a deeper understanding of our programs and admissions process. Missed a session? No problem—additional information and resources are always available online.

Stay hopeful, stay engaged—and thank you for considering Lehigh Valley Academy for your child’s education.
At Lehigh Valley Academy, one of the ways we ensure new students feel welcomed, supported, and confident from day one is through our Student Ambassador Program—a leadership initiative led by our high school students and rooted in the values of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Learner Profile.
The program is designed with three core goals in mind:
Assist new students as they get to know LVA
Share experiences and expertise from the perspective of current LVA students
Build a strong sense of community across grade levels
Through this program, students actively develop IB traits such as being Communicators, Caring, and Open-Minded, while learning how to lead with empathy and responsibility.
Ambassador Roles & Responsibilities
Student Ambassadors serve in several key roles, each aligned with IB principles and focused on helping new students feel comfortable, informed, and engaged:
School Guides(Communicators, Knowledgeable) Ambassadors provide tours for new students, clearly and confidently explaining daily routines, academic spaces, and school life while answering questions from a student’s point of view.
Mentors(Caring, Principled) As mentors, ambassadors offer guidance, encouragement, and support as new students acclimate to LVA—modeling integrity, kindness, and responsibility.
Resource Assistants(Thinkers, Balanced) Ambassadors help new students navigate locker assignments, class schedules, and school resources, demonstrating problem-solving skills while supporting a smooth transition into school life.
Event Promoters(Risk-Takers, Open-Minded) Ambassadors encourage participation in school events, clubs, and activities, helping new students step outside their comfort zones and engage fully in the LVA community.
Why the Student Ambassador Program Matters
The Student Ambassador Program reflects LVA’s commitment to developing students who are not only academically prepared, but also empathetic leaders and engaged global citizens. By empowering students to support one another, the program brings the IB Learner Profile to life in meaningful, real-world ways.
At LVA, leadership is not just taught—it’s practiced. And our Student Ambassadors exemplify what it means to learn, lead, and serve through the lens of the IB.

Families of rising high school students (Grades 9–11) are invited to attend an Admissions Information Session in January 2026 to learn more about the opportunities that make Lehigh Valley Academy RCS stand apart.
During this session, families will gain a closer look at LVA’s IB pathways, course offerings, student expectations, and how our programs—along with leadership opportunities like the Student Ambassador Program—prepare learners for college, careers, and beyond.
This is an ideal time to explore which pathway best aligns with your child’s strengths, goals, and aspirations.

We also encourage current LVA families to share this opportunity with friends, neighbors, and anyone interested in learning how an IB education at LVA can help students grow as confident, capable, and compassionate learners.
At Lehigh Valley Academy, every high school student has the opportunity to pursue an educational journey that empowers them to think deeply, act responsibly, and step confidently into their future. Through our International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP), students can choose the path that best aligns with their interests — while still benefiting from the shared strengths of an IB education rooted in inquiry, independence, and global awareness.
A Closer Look at the Diploma Programme (DP)
The IB Diploma Programme offers an academically rigorous and globally recognized curriculum designed for students who want to challenge themselves across a broad range of subjects. DP students learn to make cross-disciplinary connections, think critically, and apply their learning to real-world issues.
With a strong emphasis on academic writing, research, and global citizenship, the DP is ideal for students preparing for college-level coursework and future success in higher education.
A Closer Look at the Career-related Programme (CP)
The Career-related Programme blends the best of IB academics with meaningful, hands-on professional experience. CP students pair IB coursework with learning in career fields such as health science, business, or technology — gaining practical skills that prepare them for both the workforce and college.
The CP is designed for students who thrive when learning is connected to authentic, real-world applications and who want to explore a career direction before graduation.
What Connects Both Pathways?
Though DP and CP offer different approaches, both pathways are grounded in the core principles of an IB education. All LVA high school students benefit from:
Inquiry-based learning
Community engagement
Research and reflection through extended projects
A global mindset that lasts a lifetime
These shared experiences help students grow into confident, balanced, and knowledgeable young adults ready to make an impact — whether they pursue higher education, a career, or both.
A Pathway for Every Passion
No two students are the same, and neither are their futures. LVA’s IB High School model supports academic, creative, and career-oriented interests, giving students the flexibility to explore what excites them while building the skills needed for lifelong success.
Whether a student dreams of entering a competitive university, studying abroad, launching a business, or stepping into a professional field, LVA provides the foundation to help them get there.

There’s something special about watching young performers step into the spotlight — especially when they represent the heart, creativity, and spirit of LVA. Tonight marks an exciting moment for our school community as two members of the LVA Drama Community, Caiden Baer and Jace Langlais, take the stage for opening night of A Christmas Carol at the Civic Theatre of Allentown.
For Caiden, this evening is particularly meaningful. He will make his community theatre debut in the role of Tiny Tim, a character known for hope, resilience, and the power of believing in what’s possible — values that beautifully align with our IB mission and the learner traits we cultivate at LVA.
Jace returns to the Civic Theatre stage in the challenging and iconic role of Ebenezer at age 13. His dedication to storytelling and willingness to push himself artistically reflect the confidence and communication skills we aim to develop in all of our Middle Years students.
Adding even more heart to the production, both students will be accompanied on stage by their mothers — Kelly Baer, Chairman of the LVA Education Foundation, and Odessa Langlais, Secretary of the Education Foundation. Their involvement speaks to something we cherish deeply at LVA: that our community doesn’t just support the arts… we participate in them, celebrate them, and model the joy of creativity for our students.
The Arts at LVA: A Space to Grow, Express, and Shine
Moments like this remind us why the arts matter. Whether in drama, music, visual arts, or performance opportunities within the classroom, LVA students embrace experiences that help them grow as communicators, risk-takers, and reflective thinkers. Many of our families are also active participants in community arts organizations, strengthening the connection between what students learn in school and how they express themselves beyond it.
Seeing LVA students step into local theaters, festivals, competitions, and community events reaffirms that their learning doesn’t begin or end in the classroom — it follows them into the world.
Join Us in Supporting Our Jaguar Performers
A Christmas Carol will run from December 5–20, and we encourage our families, alumni, and community partners to come out and support Caiden, Jace, and their families during this special theatrical run.
Let’s fill the audience with LVA pride and celebrate the incredible talent, courage, and collaborative spirit that make our Jaguars shine — on stage and beyond.
At Lehigh Valley Academy, the Middle Years are about far more than academics — they’re a transformational stage where students begin to think critically, build confidence, and discover who they are as learners. Through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP), students in Grades 6–10 engage in meaningful experiences that prepare them not only for high school, but for life.
An International Framework for Lifelong Learning
The MYP encourages students to make real-world connections through inquiry, reflection, and creativity. By engaging in hands-on projects, problem-solving challenges, and interdisciplinary learning, students strengthen the skills that matter most — not just what to learn, but how to learn.
Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration
Middle Years learners grow into independent thinkers and effective communicators. They collaborate with peers, explore new ideas, and practice learning strategies that deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Learning That Inspires Action
Whether through service, leadership, or creative projects, LVA students are encouraged to take action on what they learn. The MYP empowers them to see themselves as capable, responsible, and ready to make a difference in their communities.
Preparing for the Diploma & Career Pathways Ahead
The Middle Years provide a strong foundation for LVA’s IB Diploma and Career-related Programmes. Students develop balance, purpose, and motivation — the skills that support academic rigor and personal growth in Grades 11 and 12.
Explore the Middle Years for Your Child
The Middle Years are where curiosity takes root, confidence grows, and students begin to find their voice. At LVA, our IB Middle Years Programme encourages curiosity, creativity, and real-world connections that set students up for long-term success.

Reflecting on Our First Snow Day of the School Year
Yesterday, LVA experienced one of the most anticipated moments of every school year—our first official snow day! While winter weather can be unpredictable in Pennsylvania, one thing remains constant: our commitment to student safety and well-being.
As snow fell across the Lehigh Valley, our leadership team worked closely with transportation partners, weather monitoring services, and local officials to ensure that all decisions were made with safety as our top priority. When conditions made travel difficult, our school community pivoted quickly, allowing students and families the opportunity to stay warm, cozy, and off the roads.
A Pause in the School Routine… and a Chance for Joy
Snow days come with a special kind of excitement. From building snowmen, baking cookies with family, catching up on sleep, or simply watching the snowfall—it was a welcomed winter break from the everyday routine.
At LVA, we recognize the value of moments like these. They remind us that education isn’t just confined to our classrooms. Snow days encourage:
Creativity
Problem-solving (especially when shoveling!)
Quality time with family
Rest and rejuvenation
These experiences support our IB Learner Profile Traits, especially Balance, reminding students and staff to care for themselves physically and mentally.
The Safety Work You Don’t See
Even on days when our buildings are closed, much happens behind the scenes:
Updates to campus walkways and parking areas
Coordination with transportation
Monitoring of changing weather patterns
Communication planning
Technology readiness for potential alternative schedules
Our goal is always to keep families informed, prepared, and supported.
Looking Ahead
As winter continues, weather will sometimes disrupt our day-to-day learning environment. When it does, LVA will remain committed to:
Clear and timely communication
Safety first
Thoughtful decision-making
Preserving learning time whenever possible
Though snow days are rare and often brief, they offer meaningful pauses in our busy academic year.
In addition, LVA has established clear procedures to help families stay informed when unexpected weather impacts the school day. Our emergency procedures, early dismissal guidelines, and school closing information—outlined in the school handbook and annual calendar—ensure that all communication is clear, consistent, and efficient.
Excerpt from LVA Communication Protocols Lehigh Valley Academy has developed a comprehensive emergency plan to keep students and staff safe and secure at all times while in school. There are times, however, when school may be delayed, dismissed early, or canceled due to circumstances beyond our control.
In the case of an emergency, late start, early dismissal, or school closing, families will be notified through the following channels: • 69 WFMZ-TV News Storm Center • LVA Website • LVA Social Media Platforms • Schoolwide Messaging System (phone, text, and email)
These layered communication tools ensure that alerts reach our LVA community as quickly as possible. To help us maintain accurate records, we encourage families to verify that their contact information is current.
If families ever want to review these procedures in greater detail, they can find them in the school handbook. They are located under the Communication section.
Share Your Snow Day Moments!
We’d love to see how our students and families spent their snow day! If you snapped photos of snowy adventures, warm indoor moments, or creative snow day fun, feel free to share them on social media and tag Lehigh Valley Academy.
Let’s celebrate the magic of the season together! Stay safe, stay warm—and here’s to a bright, joyful winter ahead.
The LVA Education Foundation is thrilled to share a heartfelt recap of our recent Designer Bag & Accessories Bingo—an event that once again showcased the generosity, spirit, and togetherness of the LVA community. What began as a fun afternoon of games and prizes turned into a remarkable show of support for our students and staff.
From the moment doors opened, the room was filled with energy. Families, alumni, staff members, and new friends gathered at the tables, eager for a chance to win designer bags, accessories, and raffle prizes—yet even more inspired to support the mission of the Education Foundation. It was truly a beautiful mix of longtime supporters and first-time attendees coming together for a shared purpose.
By the end of the event, thanks to everyone’s participation and generosity, we proudly raised more than $7,000. These funds will directly support initiatives that enhance learning experiences, increase opportunities for students, and ensure our staff have the resources they need to continue delivering high-quality education. Every dollar raised represents a tangible impact on our classrooms, programs, and school community.
We also want to recognize the incredible businesses and partners who helped make this event possible. Our sincere gratitude goes to:
BSI Corporate Benefits
R 5 Design Co.
Pany & Lentz Engineering Co.
Alpha Chiropractic
Joan Steinberg – Pampered Chef Consultant
Bethlehem FOP
Allentown FOP
A Plus DJs
Their commitment to supporting local education played a vital role in the success of this fundraiser.
As we reflect on the afternoon, what stands out most is not just the funds raised—it’s the sense of community that filled the room. Laughter between rounds, friendly competition, conversations between families, and new connections formed all contributed to an atmosphere that felt uniquely “LVA.”
To those who attended, volunteered, sponsored, donated, or helped spread the word: thank you. You are making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. We’re grateful to have you as part of the LVA family, and we look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.

Excellence Recognized — LVA Named #1 in Pennsylvania by Niche
We’re proud to announce that Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School (LVA) has been recognized by Niche as one of the very best schools in Pennsylvania for 2026.
LVA earned:
#1 Best Public K–12 School in Pennsylvania
#1 Best Charter K–12 School in Pennsylvania
#1 Most Diverse Public K–12 School in Pennsylvania
These distinctions highlight the incredible commitment of our students, teachers, staff, and families who make up the heart of Jaguar Nation. Each recognition reflects our shared dedication to academic excellence, inclusion, and the values of the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy that guide our classrooms every day.
Serving students from at least 19 different school districts across the Lehigh Valley, LVA provides access to a world-class IB education for families who may not otherwise have that opportunity. Within our K–12 community, 31 languages are spoken, representing a vibrant global culture that mirrors the diversity of our region and enriches the educational experience for every learner.
With a 99% graduation rate, LVA continues to demonstrate that a globally minded, inclusive approach to education leads to success both in the classroom and beyond.
For those unfamiliar, Niche is a trusted platform that connects families with schools and communities across the country. Their rankings are based on a rigorous analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Education, combined with millions of student and parent reviews, to provide an authentic look at school quality, culture, and outcomes.
At LVA, we believe education is more than academics — it’s about preparing globally minded learners who are curious, compassionate, and committed to making a difference. This honor reaffirms our mission and inspires us to continue striving for excellence in all that we do.
Why It Matters — Why Your Voice Counts
As members of the LVA community, you’ve seen firsthand how our school goes beyond traditional education. You’ve watched students explore their passions, develop global perspectives, and grow into lifelong learners. Sharing your story helps more families access the same opportunity.
1. School Choice Matters
Every child learns differently, and every family deserves the right to choose the school that best fits their needs. As Nathan Hoffman, Policy and Research Director at Empower Illinois, explains:
“The best public school won’t work for every student. The best private school won’t work for every student. The best public-charter school won’t work for every student. The best virtual school won’t work for every student. It’s about having options.”
2. LVA Is One of Those Options — and a Strong One
LVA provides a tuition-free, high-quality alternative to traditional public and private schools through the International Baccalaureate curriculum, small-school culture, and emphasis on character, creativity, and community. Our recent #1 Niche rankings and exceptional 99% graduation rate are proof of the excellence families can expect when they join the Jaguar community.
3. Education Is a Choice, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Model
When you buy a car or choose a new job, you explore options before deciding what fits best. Education should be no different. Families deserve to find the environment that supports their child’s learning style and future goals.
4. Not All Families Have Equal Access to Strong Schools
Some families live in underfunded districts or cannot afford private tuition. LVA bridges that gap by offering an equitable, globally recognized education to families across the Lehigh Valley region — with open enrollment for students from 19 different districts and an inclusive community where over 30 languages are celebrated.
5. Word-of-Mouth Is Powerful
Your recommendation could be the reason a student discovers their potential, a family feels hopeful, or a child finds a school where they truly belong.
The Bigger Picture — The Importance of School Choice
Families choose schools for many reasons: location, safety, class size, academic focus, or sense of community. Whatever the reason, having options is what makes those choices possible.
School choice gives parents the freedom to seek an education that aligns with their values and their child’s unique learning needs. For some, that means smaller classes; for others, it’s a rigorous international curriculum like LVA’s IB Programme that encourages critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and personal growth.
Some families live in districts with well-funded, well-run traditional neighborhood schools where class sizes are low and parent involvement is high. Others do not have that luxury. In some districts, resources are limited, schools are overcrowded, or students lack access to the technology and support they need to succeed.
That’s why schools like LVA are vital to the educational landscape. They offer another path — one where students are challenged, supported, and inspired to become their best selves.
Join Us in Spreading the Word
When you share information about LVA admissions, you’re doing more than promoting a school — you’re advocating for access, equity, and opportunity in education.
Encourage families you know to apply, attend an information session, or visit our website to learn more about our programs and community. Together, we can ensure every child has the chance to thrive in an environment designed to help them grow academically, emotionally, and globally.
