Thank you for considering Lansing Christian School. At LCS, your child is not simply welcomed, but also known and valued as uniquely created in God’s image and blessed with His purpose for their life. We are committed to ensuring every student experiences genuine belonging within our community of faith and learning.
Applying to LCS is a thoughtful process, and our admissions team is here to guide you each step of the way. We invite you to begin today.
Step One – Application
As part of the online application process, please submit the following:
- A completed online application and a $75 application fee per student
- The student’s most recent report card and latest standardized test scores (High school applicants must also submit an official transcript)
- A completed Student Questionnaire (required for applicants in grades 6–12)
- Pastor’s Recommendation (one per family)
- Teacher’s Recommendation (one required for each applicant in grades 1–12)
Once you provide contact information in the parent portal, online recommendation forms will be sent directly to your family pastor and your child’s teacher for completion.
Step Two – Educational Consultation
After all required materials have been received, the school will contact you to schedule an educational consultation with the Principal. This meeting will be held in person and should include the student and at least one parent. For elementary applicants, student attendance is not required.
Step Three – Enrollment
After acceptance, the following items are required to complete the enrollment process:
- A completed online Enrollment Contract and a $100 tuition deposit per student
- A Health Appraisal Form (required for PK–Kindergarten applicants and students who have not previously attended school)
- Tuition Assistance Application (if applicable)
Final Step
Enrollment is complete once the Enrollment Contract and $100 enrollment fee have been submitted. Families will then receive instructions for setting up their Skyward Family Access account.
Lansing Christian School has experienced growing enrollment with large numbers of applicants each year. We value our small class sizes and low student/teacher ratio. We may establish a wait pool once a grade level is considered full based on the school’s enrollment goals. This means that an applicant may be offered admission based upon future availability.
Applicants may contact the admission office for updates as to their wait pool status at any time.
- Although offered admission, pool applicants do not receive an enrollment agreement.
- Applicants may remain in the pool: up to a full academic year; until a seat is made available; or until they request to be removed.
- In the event a seat remains unavailable, applicants who have applied for enrollment within the past 12 months may renew their application for the subsequent school year with no additional application fee.
Lansing Christian School has developed the following process for any family pursuing enrollment in a grade level currently at enrollment capacity:
- Entire application process must be completed including:
- All application forms, recommendation forms, and all necessary transcript information
- An educational consultation with acceptance
- Upon acceptance, families will be notified that they have been accepted, but cannot be enrolled until space becomes available for their child/ren
Once space is available the enrollment process is as follows:
- Lansing Christian School will notify families in the wait pool that they have been selected.
- Upon selection, accepted families have one week to complete their enrollment contract and pay their non-refundable tuition deposit to guarantee their spot.
- Families in the wait pool fall under the same non-discrimination policies as all families in our school. This policy states, “Lansing Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.”
