LCS is a parent-initiated school that strives to build a creative, academically challenging and emotionally nurturing environment for our children – one that embraces and celebrates the diversity of languages and cultures in our urban community while retaining the close-knit feel of a neighborhood school. We are a school of choice and offer an alternative option to the traditional public school curriculum.

Diverse student body with kids from every social, economic, ethnic and religious background.
Teachers and staff care about every student. Parents are involved in all aspects of the school through volunteering and helping in the classrooms.
