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.

What makes our school special

Liberty Elementary is special because of its wonderful teachers, students and parents. We have also developed strong programs that captivate student imagination and provide stimulating and hands-on learning activities to promote mastery of the core content. Special programs include our arts and humanities program, which provides cultural and performance activities in music, art, dance and drama. We now offer Spanish immersion classes within our kindergarten and first grade, which will help prepare students to be global citizens in the 21st century. Our science program 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.
