Admissions Standards

Our admissions standards reflect our commitment to serve as a partner with the home and the local church in the Christian education of our students. We ask that the following admissions standards are met by our students and their families:

  • Shared Goals: LCS is most effective when working with families who share spiritual and academic goals compatible with the mission of the school. Admissions priority is given to families who give evidence of their spiritual commitment by faithful participation in a local church and attention to the scriptures in their home. Families demonstrate commitment to the school’s academic goals by a record of consistent attendance and support of the teachers’ efforts to promote the priority of learning in the life of the student.
  • Cooperative Spirit: Each family and each student admitted to LCS is expected to exhibit a cooperative spirit. Parents and students should read the Family Handbook (available on the website) for a description of the school’s standards and expectations. Every school has policies and procedures related to dress, attendance, communication, punctuality, conduct, demeanor, and academics. A spirit of cooperation and partnership in these areas is essential for an effective educational experience. Negative attitudes about the Christian faith or the school prevent admission. Students in grades six through twelve complete a student application and interview that provides them an opportunity to ask questions about any aspect of school life that may be of concern to them.
  • Academic Record:  An applicant’s academic record must indicate that the student is adequately prepared for the instructional program at LCS. If a student has been receiving special support services (504 Plan, IEP, other therapies), paperwork describing those services should be provided by the parent with the application.  Students are expected to take their academic responsibilities seriously. Applicants who have exhibited a persistent lack of effort or uncooperative spirit will not be admitted.
  • Disciplinary Record: LCS does not admit students who have a history of disciplinary problems. Students who have been expelled from other schools will not be admitted.
  • K4, Kindergarten and First Grade: Students must meet the age and maturity standards of the school. Documentation for all required immunizations and physical examination must on file prior to final admission. An admission screening is scheduled for all incoming K4 and K5 students. Students must be four years old by September 1 to enter the K4 program, five years old by September 1 to enter K5, and six years old by September 1 to enter first grade.
