On behalf of the LIA faculty and staff, we welcome you to the 2011-2012 school year! As we pray for a successful year, we would like to thank God for providing us the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of growth, improvements, and accomplishments; 20 years of sharing the success of our students. The school opened its doors in 1991, with almost one hundred students. Thus far, 643 students have graduated and continued their higher education in prestigious colleges around the world; many of them have come back to Nicaragua and have trusted their children’s education to LIA. We are very proud of our school, our programs, and our students. We sincerely hope that you become an integral member of the school community. Education is a partnership that cannot take place without the support of every staff member, the involvement of every parent, and the commitment of every student. May God bless you,

Welcome to the Lincoln Preschool! I am glad you are part of our wonderful group of families this year and I would like to give each and every one of you a warm welcome to our new school year 2011-2012. I am happy to see all of your familiar faces back in preschool and also to meet many new families that have joined us. To welcome new families is always exciting, as new families bring new ideas and new friendships.
New at LIA this year!!! This summer vacation the school went through many significant renovations. Every year the school makes an effort to give the students a better learning environment that will allow them to improve their performance. This year, some of the improvements were: Raised ceilings and more insulation for better ventilation in every classroom and office. New multi-purpose game area (basketball, volleyball or tennis)
Lincoln International Academy recognizes that early childhood is a significant period in human development. What young children learn at this stage will have a major impact on successful learning experiences in school, on personal development and on future participation in society. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time with questions,
concerns, or to share a positive experience! Birgit Hugentobler LIA Preschool Coordinator
