In a warm, caring environment, our faculty is able to fully support each student as an individual, allowing them to fully participate in our challenging, exciting curriculum, as well as to become active members of the school and our larger community. Our students are thoughtful participants in a vibrant exchange of ideas here at LCDS and in the larger world beyond our campus.
LCDS students enjoy a wide variety of curricular and extracurricular opportunities — including a number of courses that include international travel components — as well as close mentoring and small class sizes. Along with personalized college guidance starting in their Middle School years, our students graduate well-prepared to continue their academic endeavors at colleges and universities.
