Support

Like most independent schools, LCIS relies on the philanthropic spirit of its community. Gifts to the LCIS Fund and Endowment support the implementation of the strategic vision and campus master plan.

THE COMMUNITY'S STRONG HISTORY OF GIVING has allowed LCIS to have a truly lasting impact on all of the students who have passed through the doors, and secures the same transformative experiences for those here now and those yet to come. Our community’s generosity ensures that numerous opportunities exist for students’ academic and personal growth on our expanding campus. Below are the ways your support can have a daily impact in making LCIS an excellent school.

Ways to Support LCIS

LCIS FUND
The LCIS Fund is a forward fund. Funds raised in the current year are used in the following school year for scholarships, campus improvements, teacher professional development and to enrich the quality of education in class every day. Our community invests an average of $1M per year to take our school from good to great.

ENDOWMENT FOR FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The Endowment for Financial Aid and Scholarships has a long history of support from parents, alumni, neighbours, foundations and corporate partners. With over $3M invested, the fund supplements the annual giving that makes an LCIS education affordable for a wide range of local families.

“Making the decision to support the school has been easy, largely because LCIS is a not-for-profit organisation. The administration and board make decisions based solely on what is best for students, spending every dollar of tuition and donations for our children’s education. The school does not need to think about making money for shareholders. It does not have a single benefactor.”

Jonathan Morris, Alumni Parent
