Special Services
Lake Center Christian School believes that all students, including those with academic, social, and emotional disabilities, have unique gifts from God, and they can contribute to the school community, society and most importantly to God’s Kingdom. The school also believes that all children are to be valued as God’s precious children.
The Special Services Program exists to support the mission of LCCS which is to “assist Christian families and their churches in equipping students for lifelong learning and service to Christ.” LCCS offers an accredited K-12 education which is centered in Jesus Christ. Consistent with the mission statement of LCCS, the goal of the Special Services Program is to support student learning in an inclusive classroom model. This model serves students with disabilities such as Speech, Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and Autism. LCCS is a registered provider of the Jon Peterson Scholarship Program.
It is our philosophy to accept students that we can effectively serve with the programs and services we offer. We believe that with appropriate training, support, and instruction children with special needs can overcome obstacles, develop their God-given talents, and experience success in the general classroom and if life.
"Our teachers use small group instruction to gain a greater understanding of students strengths and weaknesses thus ensuring continuous growth in all subjects."
We are committed to working as a team with each family so that together, we can meet the needs of individual students, and magnify their gifts and abilities.”

What We Believe
Biblical Worldview
We believe in a Biblical worldview. Students will learn to demonstrate an understanding and discernment of the Bible, the plan of salvation and it’s permeation into daily living and decision making. We teach students to use Biblical worldview to analyze content, to think critically about problems and solutions, and make decisions.
We want to develop students that are able to engage with and articulate Biblical worldview to believers and non-believers alike. We believe that it’s through this understanding of the Bible that students will grow in their personal relationship with Christ.
Academic Excellence
At Lake Center, students are prepared in academic disciplines as well as skill in critical thinking and problem-solving. They are taught to be productive, responsible, and dependent on Christ as well as can read, write, speak, and listen with purpose.
Students learn to evaluate, analyze, and communicate the validity of information and it’s relation to Truth. They will be taught to value academic honesty and integrity while pursuing wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as a life practice/pattern.
We want students that after graduation have goals and plans for life beyond and outside of Lake Center.
Christian Character
We teach students to know, understand, and apply Scripture as the authority for establishing priorities for all areas of life. We want them to speak life and understand the power and value of their words.
Students will learn to cultivate a life of faith and love within their families, communities, workplaces as well as developing a desire to glorify God in everything they do, even viewing work as worship to God.
We want students that will practice restorative justice, love mercy, walk justly and exercise a voice in current culture.

We teach them to value the creativity and talents of others as well as the importance of community and living in unity. We show students how to not only recognize but also deal with prejudice.
We want well-rounded students that appreciate the arts, literature, science, mathematics, and athletics as well as those who excel in and contribute to these areas.

Philosophy Of Christian Education
Education at Lake Center Christian School is realized in several ways. Students are taught to know God through His revealed truth in the person of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible, the final authority for faith and life, and through discoverable truth in His creation. Students are encouraged by teachers, who exemplify a life-style of commitment to Christ, to respond to God as the Holy Spirit calls them. Students are guided in glorifying God by developing concepts and skills which will enable them to realize their potential in loving God, in enjoying His world, and in serving others.
Education results in the growth of the whole person. Lake Center Christian School aims to develop the potential of its students through goals for spiritual and moral growth, personal and social growth, intellectual growth, and health and physical growth.
