Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year at Lincoln International Academy of the Holy Family!

As we begin the 2025-2026 school year, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude for our school's remarkable growth and achievements over 34 years of operation. Our educational community has witnessed the achievements of our students in recent times, in school, and as they begin and conclude with success in their college journey.

Since 1991, Lincoln International Academy has remained committed to providing a nurturing and empowering learning environment for all our students. So far, 1177 students have proudly graduated, and are now studying and working worldwide. The school strives to support, guide, and challenge our students to reach their full potential in everything they do.

All school efforts are aligned with the school´s vision and purpose, always emphasizing academic excellence, spiritual growth, and integral development, in a safe environment conducive to social-emotional growth. These core values guide our faculty as they teach and inspire our students in their educational journey.

 

This year, LIA´s Annual Improvement Plan (SIP 2025-2026) includes five goals to inspire and equip learners so that they succeed to their highest potential:

 

1. Continue to improve differentiated instruction across all academic areas by consistently implementing evidence-based intervention plans, regularly reflecting on effectiveness, documenting, and exploring new instructional strategies.

2. Strengthen STREAM instructional practices across all grade levels by enhancing teacher understanding of evidence-based STREAM content standards, promoting interdisciplinary curriculum integration, and expanding opportunities for student-driven, inquiry-based learning.

3. Reinforce the Safe Environment program across all areas of the school to provide a secure and nurturing environment that supports the well-being of all the students, staff, and families.

4. Ensure the consistent use of English as the default language among all faculty, students, and staff to foster a language-rich environment that enhances language acquisition and aligns with the goals of our international curriculum.

5. Strengthen meaningful home-school partnerships to build a supportive learning environment for all students.

​

This year, we also celebrate two extraordinary milestones that reflect our collective commitment to growth and innovation:

• LIA has once again earned full Cognia® Accreditation, marking our fourth successful accreditation cycle after initial recognition in 2009. This honor confirms our ongoing dedication to academic excellence, effective leadership, and continuous improvement.

• In addition, we are proud to announce that Lincoln International Academy is now the first and only school in Nicaragua to receive Cognia’s prestigious STEM Certification. This recognition places our school among a select group of institutions worldwide, leading the way in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education. It is a testament to our vision of hands-on, future-ready learning that prepares students to innovate, problem-solve, and thrive in a dynamic world..

​

We firmly believe that all students can succeed, and we are committed to helping them shine in their unique way. We aim to ensure that every student receives a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in school, and eventually college, work, and life.

We look forward to another year of growth, discovery, and achievement for our students. We are deeply grateful to all the LIA families and their continued partnership as we work together to make this school year one of excellence and purpose for every member of the Lincoln community. Thanks for your continuous trust and the lifelong value that Catholic education provides.
