How LOMA Works
Come In With a Goal.Leave With a Day That Was Yours.
At LOMA, students aren't handed a schedule the moment they walk through the door. They're encouraged to think about what they want to accomplish that day — and given the people, spaces, classes, and resources to do it.
Academics. Skills. Faith. Fitness. Friends.
Some days might include all five. Some days might be about just one.

Arrive → Set a Goal → Use LOMA → Accomplish Something
Check in.
Come to LOMA and see what's happening that day.
No need to begin every morning in the same classroom doing the same thing as everyone else.
What do you want to accomplish today?
At check-in, students think intentionally about their day.
Students begin their day with purpose — without having every minute dictated to them.
Now go do it.
Move through LOMA based on your goals.

The exact day can look different for every student.
Your goals. Your progress. Your day.
- Maybe you finished your academics.
- Maybe you learned to make pasta from scratch.
- Maybe you finally understood a math concept.
- Maybe you practiced your Quran.
- Maybe you worked on a business idea.
- Maybe you spent three hours laughing and talking with friends you needed to see.
Not every productive day has to look the same.
The big idea
Structure Without Being Over-Scheduled.
LOMA isn't about giving kids unlimited free time.
It's about helping them learn how to use freedom well.
Students practice asking:
- What do I need to do?
- What do I want to learn?
- Where do I need help?
- How do I want to spend my time?
- What would make today feel worthwhile?
That's college-style autonomy.
Not freedom from responsibility. Freedom with responsibility.
Academics work differently
Need to Get Math Done?Go Get Math Done.
Academic members have access to LOMA's math and literacy program.
Students can come into the Learning Lounge, work through their lessons at their individual level, and get help from tutors when they need it.
When they're finished, they're finished.
They can move on to another goal instead of sitting through an entire class period simply because the clock hasn't run out.
Master it. Finish it. Move on.
Classes are there to choose from
See Something You Want to Learn?
LOMA offers skills-based classes throughout the week.
Students can build classes into their day based on their interests and goals.

Learn because you chose to be there.
What Would Your Child Do With Their Day?
Give them somewhere to learn, work, explore, move, practice their faith, find help, see friends — and gradually learn how to direct a life of their own.
