WHAT MAKES AN LCS EDUCATION DIFFERENT?
What makes us different is WHO OUR TEACHERS ARE, HOW WE TEACH and the quality of OUR CURRICULUM. We strive every day to walk worthy of our calling to provide a distinctively Christian education, rooted in shared values and implementing the best of what we know works to provide an impactful education where every student achieves success. We have designed a program that is a fit for a range of learners and encourages students to reach their full human potential.
Our K-12 LEARNER PROFILE describes what we aspire to encourage in every graduate and outlines the goals of our BIBLICAL STUDIES CURRICULUM, which is fully integrated throughout every course and program.
Academic achievement and student wellness, grounded in a thriving community and strong learning support services, form the foundation of our K-12 program. Excellence in Athletics, Arts, Service and STEM (science, engineering, trades technology and mathematics) are the core pillars of what LCS provides.
The LCS Instructional Guidelines describe what students can expect learning to look like in every classroom, every day.
WHY CHOOSE LCS?
Study after study, researching thousands of schools, tells us that the best schools are those where there is a strong sense of shared values, and beliefs, reinforced by a strong educational mission, a sense of community and trust, and a whole-staff commitment to ongoing professional growth and learning. No other school in our community offers what your family will have the opportunity to experience at Langley Christian School.
CONNECTION & BELONGING
With smaller than average class sizes, a middle school of just over 300 students and a high school of just over 400, we are big enough to offer excellent programs and experiences, yet small enough that every child is known and connected.
We are also very much a partnership with parents and families. Through our PAC, Society Meetings and relationships with teachers and administration, you can be certain that you will have agency and voice at LCS and can have input into your children’s education.
In the high school our unique “house structure” connects every student to a house director who knows them personally and connects them to other student services. Students are also part of a house (Fraser, Aeries, Cedrus) and connected in a small life group. In elementary and middle school, we have developed a range of activities and opportunities that foster connection and belonging, and in the homeroom class we emphasis relationship with outstanding teachers.
BIBLICAL STUDIES
The LCS Bible Curriculum is designed to foster the competences captured in our K-12 Learner Profile, and integrate Christian thinking and values into our core subjects and extra-curricular experiences. Our teaching practices reflect our values and the core beliefs of our school.
The Learner Profile describes what we strive to encourage in every learner and provides opportunities to explore 3 important questions for their life.
- Who is God?
- Who am I?
- What is my purpose?
ESSENTIAL LEARNING
We ensure that every child is equipped to learn the foundational competencies they need to thrive as learners – literacy, numeracy, wellness, discernment & creative thinking. We believe every child can achieve success as a learner.
We know that children who do not learn the fundamentals are much more likely to experience challenges and low self-esteem or other related mental health struggles when they are older. Our school action plans focus our professional development and collaboration on ensuring all students are successful learners and well supported for developing strong social emotional skills and strategies.
We are not interested in the latest educational fad. You can be certain your children will learn what they need to thrive as the unique learners God created them to be.
TEACHING EXCELLENCE
Our K-12 Instructional Guidelines are our guarantee that in every classroom, every day, our students are learning though differentiated, evidence-based teaching practices aligned with what we know about how God designed us all to be curious learners.
As other schools move towards less expertise and hiring of unqualified teachers, our staff are certified by the Ministry of Education and often have advanced degrees and industry experience in the courses and subjects they teach.
We invest heavily in professional development and offer masters degree incentive programs to fully embrace ongoing learning and growth in our practices.
INNOVATION & CREATIVITY
Our Impact & Innovation Fund supported by the generosity of our community puts tools in the hands of staff and students to ensure we offer innovative, entrepreneurial, creative and impactful learning experiences for all K-12 students.
Whether it is our libraries, gyms or classrooms, our teachers are well-supported and well-funded for what is needed to deliver on a quality education.

In a future of accelerating change, our children need a school that securely anchors them in relationships rooted in timeless values, where they learn the habit of mind to make decisions and judgments from a Biblical perspective and flourish in what makes us truly human, individually unique and precious in the sight of a loving creator.
Today, the world needs future-focused, engaged, faithful Christian education more than ever before. A Christian learning community has never been more relevant as an environment to shape a new generation of young people, who are justice-seeking, discerning, inclusive, courageous, equipped and ready to have an impact for Christ.
