What is Lipscomb Academy's Endeavor program? 

According to Webster’s Dictionary, the word endeavor means “activity directed toward a goal”. Lipscomb Academy’s Endeavor program provides high school students the ability to attend school in a unique format resulting in a full secondary education and Lipscomb Academy diploma. Through traditional in-classroom learning and online courses, Endeavor students customize their educational experience in order to allow sufficient time needed to achieve their own personal affinities and pursuits.
