Does LCS accept students with
special needs?
LCS does not offer the full
continuum of special education programs as mandated by law for public schools
in the United States. Admission is contingent upon a match between the
student's needs and the level of services available. For that reason, the
admission of any special needs student is determined on a case-by-case basis
using multiple sources of information such as school records, evaluations and
interviews with students, parents and teachers.
Should my child be fluent
in English to attend LCS? Only if your
child is applying for grades nine and above.
What languages are offered
at LCS?
LCS offers
instruction in French from grades one through twelve, and Spanish starting in
grade nine.
