Waiting List

When a grade is full, we operate a wait pool and allocate spaces to waiting students as soon as they become available. 

Gifted and talented student support

We do not currently have a Gifted and Talented program, but are able to extend the learning of our students where needed, as a part of our personalised learning journeys.

Learning Support

Admissions is open to all students who, in the school's opinion, will benefit from a challenging, international, English-language education which prepares them for higher education and a life of challenge, change and purpose. LCS therefore, admits students whose academic, personal, social and emotional needs can be met the school's programs and services, and who can be integrated into a mainstream classroom.

Languages Taught

In our Elementary School, all students (who are not learning English as an additional language) learn French.
From Grade 6, students have the option to choose Spanish.
In Grades 11 & 12, students can choose to learn another language online.
