Let There Be Light Christian Residential Academy (LTBL), founded by Jamaican-born United States Army veteran and nurse anesthetist Latoya Shea, is developing an educational campus built around 10 interconnected pillars spanning education, leadership, engineering, agriculture and media.
Shea said the academy is not seeking to replace or compete with the established producers, engineers and creatives who built that reputation.
The wider academy is also expected to accommodate boarding and day students, bringing children from different backgrounds into one school community.
The objective is not simply to produce another generation of engineers, producers, filmmakers, health professionals, farmers or entrepreneurs.
“That’s what this academy is actually for,” Shea said, “raising children who know their identity is in Him first, before anything they go on to build or create.”
