We equip students to exalt God and follow Christ in all aspects of life. We call students to grow in maturity in Jesus Christ, being knowledgeable about our faith, standing firm in our convictions, living as servants within our community and being stewards of God’s creation.

We Partner with Christian Parents
Lansing Christian School exists to assist parents in building a strong Christian foundation for their children. We serve Christian families who desire a Christ-centered education for their children.
School Verse: That they might set their hope in God. Psalm 78:7
History: Lansing Christian School was established in 1951 by a group of families who shared a desire and vision for Christian instruction based on the infallible Word of God. The constitution they wrote, which still governs our school today, states that the purpose of Lansing Christian School is to give the youth of the community weekday instruction that aligns with our Doctrinal Statement and equips them, as children of God, to take their places worthily in society, church, and state. For seventy-five years, LCS has partnered with Christian parents to deliver on that mission. Today, we see alumni entrusting their children, and even grandchildren, to LCS because they know it to be an institution that educates students to the full extent of their God-given abilities.
Enrollment: LCS is a day school with grades Preschool-12. The community includes 575 students and 42 faculty. The student/faculty ratio of 13:1 allows for caring and positive working relationships with the teachers. The school operates with preschool, elementary, middle and high school on a single secure campus. Our students come from more than 90 different churches and 20 public school districts. Approximately 50% of our students receive tuition assistance annually.
Location: 3405 Belle Chase Way, in Delhi Township, Lansing, Michigan near the corner of Jolly Road and Dunckel Road within 10 minutes of Michigan State University and downtown Lansing.
Academics: Learning at Lansing Christian School is both rigorous and relevant. Technology is integrated throughout the grade levels to facilitate and advance learning. The annual scores of seniors on the ACT are well above the state and national averages and many Advanced Placement (AP) classes are offered. On average, 95% of graduates continue on to higher education. Learn more about LCS’s Academics.
Spiritual Life: Faith is integrated into everything we do at LCS. Students regularly attend Bible classes, worship together in Chapel, and grow together in classroom devotions and prayer. In addition, throughout the curriculum, a biblical worldview is integrated into their studies. In every classroom, students learn from Christian teachers who model faith and help students to know God by learning about His world.
Service: We believe that students learn to love God by living in relationship with Him throughout the school day, and students learn to serve God through meaningful learning experiences that allow students to use their learning to serve the needs of others. To that end, we teach our students that serving others is a normal part of the Christian life. We provide intentional service programs designed to inspire hearts for service at all grade levels.
Parent partnership: LCS partners with parents in the education of their children. We warmly encourage parent involvement in the school. Thousands of volunteer hours by parents every year make the school a success.
Accreditation: Lansing Christian School is accredited in partnership with Christian Schools International. Lansing Christian School was awarded five-year reaccreditation in January 2023.
Governance: LCS is owned and operated by the Lansing Christian School Association, to which all parents automatically belong. The Association elects nine School Board members to the Board of Trustees who are responsible to the Association for the school’s operation.
