Ask LCC students, parents, teachers, or alumni what makes LCC a special place and they will tell you: Abundant Opportunities; A Culture of Excellence; A Strong Community; and Exceptional Resources.
We know this because we cared to ask. As educators, we understand that these defining characteristics are central to a student’s journey in discovering all that he or she can be. And this strikes at the core of our philosophy.
Our school offers amazing opportunities for students in kindergarten through grade 12 because we believe they are essential to the student’s fullest development in mind, body, and heart. We also understand that it’s not “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to education and personal growth. Providing a breadth of well-integrated curricular and co-curricular programs keeps students engaged, allows them to try new things, and stretches their boundaries in a safe environment.
What is striking—and personally gratifying—is that students and staff alike enjoy being at LCC. We are a school that sets high standards in all that we do, but we also welcome the challenge. Positive student involvement, committed teachers, supportive parents, and a joy of learning combine to make the LCC educational experience exceptional. Our faculty and staff inspire our students to do their best and discover new strengths and passions. These special relationships are the true measure of what distinguishes the programs and opportunities of our school.
Community is part of our core values. At LCC, there is a genuine sense of pride and belonging palpable not only across our four school divisions, but also in all layers of school life. We live our motto—Non Nobis Solum/Not for Ourselves Alone. This means instilling a sense of responsibility and accountability in our students, and ensuring everyone has the chance to make a difference in the lives of others, locally or globally.
Outstanding resources help make all of this possible. We are fortunate to have some of the best facilities in the city, which are complemented by innovative programming and teachers prepared to go the extra mile. Whether it be math and science, performing arts, technology, athletics, leadership, service, Pre-University, or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, it comes down to people, facilities and programs. Together, they provide a comprehensive experience that develops personal potential and brings about endless possibilities for LCC students.
There are many excellent schools from which to choose and we recognize that selecting the school that best fits is important. We invite you to explore LCC and discover for yourself the journey that will lead to The Power to Be.
