Support

Like most independent schools, LCIS relies on the philanthropic spirit of its community. Gifts to the LCIS Annual Fund, Capital Campaign 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 three ways your support can have a daily impact in making LCIS an excellent school.

Ways to Support LCIS

LCIS ANNUAL FUND
The LCIS Annual 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.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
The INSPIRE•CHALLENGE•TRANSFORM Campaign is the largest fundraising project in the history of LCIS. With over $30M raised and invested to date, the school has opened a new world-class Upper School Campus. Opportunities for students on both campuses to experience high-quality academics and programmes increased when we opened the doors to our new facilities and further expanded our scholarship programme.

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.
