Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy is a kindergarten through fifth grade public school located in Old Town Alexandria. Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy embraces the “whole child” approach to education, addressing each student’s social, emotional, physical and academic requirements through the support of family, staff and community. The school believes the true measure of a student’s success transcends test scores. True success is measured by the preparation necessary to meet the 21st century demands for career, college, and citizenship.
