The Road to Adolesco

Our Story

You want to disciple your children well, but your influence is waning while the world’s is growing. It’s frustrating when the world gets more time than you do. You haven’t considered other school options before, but it’s time to make a change. Yes, all kids grow up, but they don’t have to grow out of the values you’ve instilled.

You deserve an ally, a supportive community to help you and your child grow.

As parents, we understand the challenges of homeschool and the frustrations of losing touch with our kids from demanding school schedules. That’s why we started Adolesco Preparatory Academy. Our University-Model® school maintains rigorous academics while partnering with parents to foster students’ spiritual growth.

Mission Statement

To provide a distinctly Christian community, promoting meaningful parent-child relationships and rigorous education, for students who will transform their community for the glory of God.

Our Founding

Finding the perfect solution is rare, especially when it comes to our children. Thankfully, as we trust and follow God, He reveals exactly what we didn’t know we wanted.

After experiencing both a private Christian school and a University-Model® School in Texas, Holly and Alex Husser knew what they wanted when they moved back to Louisiana. Why? Because the University-Model® brand (known for its distinctly Christian culture, academically challenging curriculum, and spiritual formation) checked all the boxes for their family.

Unfortunately, a University-Model® School didn’t exist anywhere in Louisiana. After settling for a traditional five-day-a-week private school, Holly soon began questioning. Every day was a rush. Redundant routines, endless car lines, homework, extracurriculars, and more left little time to be together. She and her husband were no longer the primary influence over their children, who came home with new vocabulary and unwelcome concepts. She grieved her loss, realizing this exhausting lifestyle with four children was not sustainable.

After much prayer and a few phone calls, Holly felt the Holy Spirit’s leading to start Louisiana’s first University-Model® School. While praying for a team, she met with Michael and Veronica Leto. With a growing family, Veronica dreaded the thought of their children spending 35+ hours away from home each week.

When Holly described the University-Model®, Veronica rejoiced: “This is exactly what I didn’t know I wanted!” The Letos and Hussers locked arms and invited Mrs. Elizabeth Cash to lead the academics. Adolesco Preparatory Academy was born.

Over the last 6 years, Adolesco Prep has survived growing pains, campus moves, a hurricane, and a global pandemic. Despite all the peaks and valleys, we have experienced growth over the last three years – not just in enrollment, but in spiritual development. Academic successes, along with fathers leading their families, mothers finding their everyday community, and teachers who also disciple. We believe APA is just getting started!

APA does not despise its small beginnings. All this, and more, has required greater faith, grit, and loyalty to a cause bigger than ourselves. We strive for more fruit, more community, and more parents finding exactly what they didn’t know they wanted!

Statement of Faith

This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of Adolesco Preparatory Academy’s beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. In regards to faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, the Board of Trustees is Adolesco Preparatory Academy’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

1. We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, inspired, authoritative, inerrant Word of God and is the basis for our sincerely held beliefs.

2. We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit .

3. We believe in the deity of Christ; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His miracles; His vicarious and atoning death; His resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; His personal return in power and glory.

4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the bloodshed of Christ; that only by God’s grace and through faith we are saved.

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life .

6. We believe God wonderfully and immutable creates each person as male (man) or female (woman). These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

7. We believe that since each person is made in the image of God, every person has value and must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect and dignity .

8. We believe all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions. We are therefore called to defend, protect and value all human life.
