Elementary School
A Solid Foundation
The elementary years at LCS set the stage for lifelong learning and faithful Christian discipleship. In partnership with parents, we nurture students spiritually, academically, socially, and physically to reach their God-given potential. We believe all truth is rooted in Scripture and every subject is an opportunity to know and glorify God. Our classrooms cultivate wonder, disciplined study, and joy in learning. Small class sizes and dedicated Christian teachers ensure each child is valued and encouraged to grow in character and competence. It’s an exciting and wondrous time!
Program Distinctives
Parent Partnership
We value close collaboration with families, recognizing parents as students’ primary educators. Clear communication and shared commitment strengthen each child’s learning and growth.
Christ-Centered Instruction
Biblical truth is thoughtfully integrated with the curriculum. Students are taught to see connections between faith and learning in every subject area, developing a coherent Christian worldview that shapes both understanding and action.
Rigorous Academics
Our elementary curriculum emphasizes depth and mastery in the core liberal arts disciplines while cultivating critical thinking, articulate communication, and intellectual curiosity.
Enriching Specials
Students participate in music, art, gym, library, and fifth grade band or choir. These courses promote creative expression, appreciation, and the refinement of God-given talents.
Elementary Curriculum
Reading & Writing
We prioritize literacy as a cornerstone of a Christian liberal arts education – beginning with phonics curriculum in preschool and advancing to a structured literacy approach grounded in the Science of Reading. Through this progression, students develop the essential skills to read with understanding, write with clarity, and speak with confidence, equipping them to think and communicate well.
Mathematical & Scientific Thinking
Through classroom inquiry and active learning, students develop fact fluency, logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They learn how to observe and make sense of God’s ordered creation.
History & Social Studies
Students study history and social studies to understand God’s providential work in human events. They learn to appreciate the ideas and institutions that have shaped our world, and to evaluate cultures and events through the lens of Scripture.
Spiritual & Character Formation
Daily prayer, Bible study, and weekly chapel worship foster spiritual growth. Students are encouraged to practice the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) in all they do.
Social & Physical Formation
Physical education, recess, co-curricular activities, and collaborative classroom experiences foster healthy bodies, teamwork, and social maturity.
“Our children are thriving as LCS Pilgrims! The school has helped them grow confidently, understanding they are children of God. Teachers, administrators, and coaches truly encourage students, supporting their learning and shining the love of Christ each day.”
