LCCS Elementary School

Lake Center's elementary education program teaches all subjects with a distinctly Bible-based worldview.  Instructed by highly qualified and compassionate teachers, students are taught the fundamental subjects: reading, writing, math, language, social studies, and science. Additionally, students begin learning Spanish as a second language in kindergarten. This prepares our students to be active participants in the culturally diverse world they will inherit after their primary school education.

In addition to the core curriculum, students at LCCS engage in a multitude of co-curricular activities which enhance their normal classroom experience. All grades enjoy weekly physical education, computer, art and music classes, including band, choir and orchestra. 

Throughout the school year, students are offered co-curricular opportunities.  The following activities are currently available for elementary students: ACSI events include Speech Meet, Spelling Bee, Music Festival, Math Olympics, Geography Bee, Creative Writing Festival, Art Fair, and Science Fair.   In addition, students can join Chess Club, Art Club, Jumprope Club, Ski Club, and the Elementary special choir, TRIBE.

A Tour of the Elementary Program
By Sheryl Roberts - Elementary Principal

Lake Center Christian School assists Christian families and their churches in equipping students for lifelong learning and service to Christ. LCCS offers an accredited K-12 education which is centered in Jesus Christ.RIBE.

As we start down the hall, I share that we want LCCS to be a nurturing environment for young lives to grow in contrast to an institutional setting where individual differences are often passed over. From the carpeting on the floors to the learning groups sitting in circles, students are encouraged to feel at home at LCCS. Controlled talking is encouraged as friendships grow and students learn to kindly interact with each other.

Helping Hands

We are truly blessed with an educational staff that continues to learn and grow professionally. They seek to Biblically integrate principles into their lessons, differentiate learning, and use multi-sensory teaching methods as they teach to various learning styles.

Faculty and staff gather in a lounge where they can eat lunch and take breaks while a recess monitor and lunch monitors supervise the children.  This allows teachers to return to their classrooms refreshed and ready to teach.

We have a health aide available on a daily basis for the occasional boo-boo and supervision of medical conditions and medications.

There are 20-40 parent volunteers in the building daily at LCCS supporting the learning environment.  This open door policy to parents enriches the classrooms as they model learning.

Classroom Structure

Our classroom size is between 20-25 students per teacher. LCCS offers two sections of each elementary grade. LCCS offers a full-day Kindergarten program as well as a half-day morning program on a daily basis.  In Kindergarten and 1st grades, there are educational aides in each classroom.

For every 100 students, a Wing Tutor is available to assist with instruction in grades 1-6. This person is a certified teacher with experience working with special needs.  They are available in each classroom during the math and language instruction.  Beginning in 3rd grade, LCCS uses the team teaching approach to education. One of the grade level teachers teaches the math and social studies, while the other teaches the reading and language. They each teach their own science and Bible. The students in grades 3-6 actually have both teachers and move between the two classrooms.  This approach allows the teachers to be better prepared and gives the students opportunity to interact with two personalities.

As we complete the tour of Lake Center Christian's elementary school, I remind parents LCCS is a tool for parents to use to train their children in the way they should go. We do not take the place of parents, nor do we take ownership of their children. We are available to assist them, and in many cases, we pray we are a tool that makes their job easier.
