“We wanted to feel confident sending our children to a school where they would be safe, loved, and cared for. School is tough, kids are hard on one another, and we want our kids to grow while also knowing that they are being looked after by others who share similar values and beliefs and will foster positive growth. At LCS, the teachers and staff care so deeply for each child that it permeates the entire school experience (classes, clubs, sports, field trips). I firmly believe the long-term rewards will far outweigh the short-term cost.”
