Lakeland Christian School

One of the core values of LCS is the belief that we are partnering with parents in the Christian education of their children. We believe that mutual respect, communication and involvement by all partners is essential for success of our mission.LCS is a school. We believe that being a Christian school and being a top-flight academic institution should not be mutually exclusive. On the contrary, we take the mandate of Colossians 3:23 that calls us to strive to be the best. We provide a variety of rigorous, engaging, academic and co-curricular activities that enable students to identify and express the full range of their unique gifts and abilities.

At the Polk Regional Science and Engineering Fair awards ceremony, LCS had some extraordinary success. Please join us in congratulating Mr. Croxton and his students for their exceptional work. 100% of our students who earned place awards received a first in their category!

Please help us celebrate Kylah Blough’s Best in Fair award and upcoming trip to the International Science and Engineering Fair in California. This is the second year in a row that we have sent a student to the International Science Fair.
