Lothian COG Academy (LoCoGA) - Homeschool Umbrella


"God is in the process of preparing His heroes.  And a day is coming when they will appear.  And the people of that generation will ask themselves...'Where did these come from?' " C.S. Lewis


"And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror;
for it shall not come near thee..." Isaiah 54:13-14

About Lothian Church of God Academy (LoCoGA)


The Lothian Church of God Academy (LoCoGA) is certified and approved by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to supervise Home Instruction. LoCoGA offers conferences with parents or guardians to review child's progress and to ensure regular and thorough instruction is being received. In addition, LoCoGA provides Semester and Final Report Cards, as well as official transcripts and promotion certificates.


Lothian Church of God Academy is a Christian Homeschool Program that is based on the belief that

we should train our children in the way that they should go. In order to work toward this goal, we

require that all families agree with our Statement of Faith. Our doctrine and beliefs are based entirely on the Word of God. 


Please view our STATEMENT OF FAITH!


In addition to offering oversight, we have implemented a day of cooperative classes where we work as a unit to educate our children and encourage one another along this journey. All members are important and should be treated equally and fairly. 


Please view our CODE OF CONDUCT.
