... but for now, they'll have to
settle for being one of the largest in
Virginia.
Falwell helped cut the ribbon
today on the new Liberty Christian
Academy ... a K-through-12 school
located in part of the old Ericsson
building in Lynchburg.
It's all part of Falwell's plan to
consolidate his school, university and
church into one area.
More than a thousand students
will return to classes there starting
next Tuesday.
