Loco parentis is Latin for “in place of parent.” We take this responsibility very seriously, and our various methods of discipleship will include mentoring students in small groups, teaching students the word of God, giving opportunities to serve in our community, and using real life examples to help them learn to respond in a biblical way. As staff, we will model integrity, humility, love and honor to our students, and encourage them to live in such a way that their peers outside of school see them as who they are in Christ.
Everyday will start with praise, worship and prayer. Students and all staff will gather at the beginning of each day, to spend time with God before classes begin. This will give everyone an opportunity to hear from God and enjoy His presence. God first and learning to rely on His Spirit to lead us will be a mantra for our school.
In addition to daily praise and worship, our students will engage in daily Bible classes. They will not only memorize scriptures and learn to grasp apologetics but also mature in applying God's word to their everyday lives.
Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
