Equipping students. Transforming Lives...
Our K-12 Biblical Studies curriculum is designed to provide a distinctively Christian teaching and learning environment, and make clear how we are intentionally integrating faith into your child’s education.
THE LCS K-12 BIBLE CURRICULUM
Our K-12 Bible curriculum will be fully implemented across all grades in September 2023. Our deep hope is that our students would come to Know God, Love Others, and Live Purposefully in the world.
The curriculum is designed encourage the development of six Learner Attributes. These attributes are woven into all of the content of the curriculum at every grade. We’ve developed a series of videos that explain each attribute from the perspectives of our teachers.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL K-5
The K-5 Bible curriculum is structured on a foundation of knowing the Biblical stories, learning scripture and encouraging practices that help learners to navigate the Bible. Students will understanding the wider redemptive narrative of God’s story and learn how their lives fit within that story.
MIDDLE SCHOOL 6-8
Students learn how to read the Bible closely and discern God’s purpose for their lives. They will explore the Biblical ideas of wisdom, diversity, shalom, justice, servant leadership, and build relationships with God and others. Students will engage in spiritual disciplines and unpack Biblical truths that have shaped Christian communities for hundreds of years.
HIGH SCHOOL 9-12
At the high school, students wrestle with and deepen their understanding of the Biblical stories, grow in their relationship with God, unpack what it means to make faith-informed decisions in the world, and apply their learning by reflecting on how they can model their lives on the person of Jesus. Our students navigate some difficult but compelling conversations about identity, reconciliation, science, faith, diversity, culture, calling, worship, and participation in a Christian community.
Know God.
THE LCS CURRICULUM
Love Others.
Live Purposefully.
We want to be a community that helps students identify their passions, develops relationships with the living God, and has an impact on a changing world. While the learner attributes are designed as part of the framework in our K-12 Bible curriculum, they are also an important part of shaping our wider-curricular life and programming in areas like arts and athletics.
It is our goal to see the learner attributes infused in our culture of learning and inform how we educate, inspire, and equip students in Christ-like discernment, to discover the gifts and to seek their calling so together we can transform lives and communities.
A Thriving Christian Learning Community
In our Curriculum Video Series, you will hear stories about how God has cultivated a life of learning and formation in the lives of these educators. You’ll hear examples of how teachers are starting to infuse the learner attributes into their teaching practice. Stories of how education is a partnership in God’s reconciliation, redemption, and restoration of the world. And you’ll hear about how our teachers are building formational learning experiences that invite students to grow in their relationship with God by asking questions, studying scripture closely, and becoming active members of our community.
It is our desire to help our whole community grow as learners, to teach the faith, and form the faithful.
