Engaging young minds with a first-class curriculum and facilities
Our curriculum is as diverse as our student community, with exciting topics and extra-curricular activities to engage your child. At LCS, our students develop the skills to achieve academically and beyond the classroom.
English
Our high expectations help students achieve excellent results in English. Stimulating texts, creative activities, and extracurricular opportunities develop practical reading and writing skills that support lifelong learning.

Our curriculum, enhanced by first-class science facilities with 10 fully equipped labs and four computer rooms, integrates ICT experimental work and other tech-based activities.
