LCDS made sure I was well-prepared for my college journey. I went in a semester ahead and was well adjusted due to Country Day's unique schedule and class structure. I was in an excellent place because of how I was raised in my 12 years at Country Day. I had learned so many skills that put me above my peers in college during those 12 years that few people had under their belts. For example: research papers, long class periods, office hours, and even simply the level of work that was expected of me in college was similar to that of Country Day.

I have been a student an LCDS since Kindergarten. I have always felt at home. The academics are great. I truly feel that I am learning new material that will be useful later in life. If I'm struggling in a class the teachers reach out and help to give you a better understanding. I would not want to go to school anywhere else.

The teachers, at least the ones in the courses that I took, were able to keep us interested in the m...

Horrific. Avoid at all costs if your child is neurodivergent. In the dark ages. Shocked and appalled at their heartless and ruthless approach. Not all teachers to be fair but as long as Gabriel has power then be assured your child will be expelled. And Foster as counsellor will be betray every confi...

The students and teachers become tight knit but the school isn't worth the money anymore. It's become less of a school and more of a money making organization. The tuition rates in elementary have almost tripled while the quality of education has declined. The school just is no longer what it once w...

As a student attending LCDS, I can assure you that the previous comment is untrue. Granted, the school is very small, but the student body is not 'groupy' in the least, rather the LCDS community is one of the most accepting and encouraging ones I've ever been a part of. Yes, it is very tightly knit,...
