In December 2002, the school board approved construction of a $14.5 million school to replace Julia R. Ewan Elementary. The land was gifted by the Madden family to the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, and we are grateful to the city for working with us to make the land available for a school.

In April 2007, a naming committee made up of community members, teachers, parents and district administrators recommended “Liberty Elementary” in honor of a principle on which our country was established and for the area where the school is located. Our school opened in August 2008.

The mission of the Liberty Elementary School community is to provide a safe, challenging and accepting learning environment that empowers all students to achieve success.

What makes our school special

Liberty has developed strong programs that captivate student imagination and provide stimulating learning activities to promote mastery of the core content. Special offerings include our arts and humanities program, which provides cultural and performance activities in music, art, dance and drama.

Our Spanish immersion program, which will help prepare students to be global citizens in the 21st century, expanded to third grade in 2011-2012.

In 2009-2010, Liberty implemented Math in Focus (Singapore math), which moves students from hands-on to pictorial to abstract mastery of math concepts with an emphasis on problem solving.

Liberty's science program also focuses on a hands-on, minds-on approach to learning. Using inquiry-based process skills and the scientific method, students are actively engaged in investigations that target key ideas in life, earth and physical science.
