What Sets Us Apart
At LCAS, students LEARN how to develop a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior.
We CREATE systems that nurture the learner in mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Our students ACHIEVE through skilled instructors and a creation-based curriculum that fosters critical thinking.
And LCAS trains students to SERVE through extracurriculars and intentional community engagement.
Rooted in Faith
Three threads we weave into every school day.
Worship
“Let the little children come to me.”Matthew 19:14
Daily devotionals, weekly chapel, and a curriculum that points students toward Christ.
Service
“As you did to one of the least of these, you did to me.”Matthew 25:40
Community service projects, mission trips, and student-led outreach woven into every grade.
Character
“Train up a child in the way he should go.”Proverbs 22:6
Life skills, integrity, and Christlike leadership modeled by teachers who know each student by name.
What We Focus On
We care about the same things you do.
100+ Years of Quality Christian Education
LCAS, the only Protestant Christian school in Chehalis, opened in 1922 in downtown Centralia. A century of educational outcomes rooted in faith.
Rigorous Accredited Academics
Evaluated every six years by national accreditation teams and the state of Washington. High standards across instruction, curriculum, and safety.
Certified Teachers
Credentialed in early childhood, special education, elementary, science, Bible, and English — trained to serve every student well.
Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio
An intentional 10:1 ratio so students who soar are stretched, and students who need a hand are seen and supported.
Christ-Centered Leadership
Service leadership and daily devotional time. We model David, Esther, and Christ Himself in study tours and community service.
Critical Thinking
Deductive reasoning, analogical thinking, problem-solving — students become today's leaders, not just tomorrow's.
