LAFAYETTE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
A
nyone who passes our campuses will notice that change is continuous at Lafayette Christian School. They may assume it is just a larger version of what has been here for years: a traditional K-12 Christian school with daycare, serving a limited clientele. While continuing to grow and send our graduates to major universities. LCS is more than a traditional private school. We began serving children with minimal special needs a decade ago. Three years later, the Discovery Cottage was added to our campus, addressing more profound special needs. This program uses physical therapy, music therapy, speech therapy and many other interventions to address each child’s specific needs. Some only need academic help or small group learning in a peaceful and loving environment. Other children have learned to feed themselves, communicate, and interact socially with peers. Three years ago, LCS began our Collaborative School. The Collaborative School is a homeschool / traditional school hybrid incorporating the strengths of both practices. This program has grown so quickly that it is now housed in its own campus across the street. Currently, construction is underway on Tom Hall Parkway for Phase II of the LCS Athletic Complex. This project includes the KIA Miracle League Field which will serve children and adults for 75 miles around regardless of their abilities. It has a special rubberized surface to accommodate many modes of transport like wheelchairs. Each Miracle League player will have a buddy to assist as needed. We are excited to bring to this area the PEPSI Inclusive Playground. In addition to being handicap accessible, the elaborate equipment is specially designed and engineered for children of all abilities to play together. A softball / baseball field, picnic pavilion, and fitness course are planned as well. At Lafayette Christian School, we are always pursuing ways to partner with parents; that may be in the new programs mentioned, or in our summer camp, our AP/Honors/Dual Enrollment courses, or our Early Learning Center. The focus of all that we do is God and His Word. Our vision is to educate and inspire this generation to impact the culture for Christ. We are honored to be one of the educational options for parents living in this community.
