The Orlando Lutheran Academy was a private Lutheran school, grades 6-12, located in Orlando, Florida. The school's creed stated the school as being "dedicated to excellence, integrity, and service." Since it's inception in 1975, OLA remained one of the few Lutheran schools in Florida, and won multiple awards, such as being listed in the top 3 private schools by Orlando magazine. However, at the end of the 2010 school year, after 35 years, Orlando Lutheran Academy closed its doors due to poor management and failure of former administration to disclose vital financial information, primarily by former director Wayne Jensen (since 2006).
