LISA Academy’s Fayetteville Middle-High School campus currently serves grades 6-9 and is expected to expand to grades 6-12, according to the school’s campus information. The building is designed to accommodate more than 1,000 students when full, a capacity figure reported by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette; that figure does not describe current enrollment.
Regional enrollment has grown
Across its Northwest Arkansas locations, LISA Academy enrolled 1,507 students in fall 2025, compared with 1,370 the previous year, according to figures cited by Talk Business & Politics. The outlet’s reporting also put regional enrollment at 1,055 in 2023, up 201.4% from 350 in 2021. LISA Academy has campuses in Rogers-Bentonville and Springdale, in addition to sites in central Arkansas.
The Fayetteville school is at 1166 Van Asche Drive, according to Talk Business & Politics. The 2023 report described the campus as beginning with K-5 grades, before plans to grow into a K-12 site.
The campus opening featured student demonstrations
At Wednesday’s opening ceremony, students demonstrated a robotic dog in the gym, flew drones through an obstacle course and assembled equipment for a student rocketry competition, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. The ceremony marked completion of Fayetteville’s K-12 pathway, the newspaper reported.
College preparation and technology are part of the curriculum
The Democrat-Gazette reported that principal Deniz Elkan described Advanced Placement and concurrent-credit classes as options for students, with career-pathway planning beginning in sixth or seventh grade and counselors meeting students by eighth grade. The newspaper also reported that spokeswoman Bethany Ratermann described instruction on responsible and ethical uses of artificial intelligence. These comments and program details are based on the newspaper’s reporting.
