Begin with the End in Mind
At LLS, we approach education with the ultimate goal in mind: a life well-lived, grounded in virtue. This perspective shifts the focus from mere career preparation to the holistic development of students' character and faith. True education is about training students for a virtuous life, which involves more than just imparting knowledge; it requires fostering the habits and dispositions that lead to good and noble actions.
LLS equips students for each phase of their educational journey.

Cultivating a love for learning and a heart for virtue.
Our Teaching Philosophy
Classical Christian education is the passing on of the wisdom of the Christian west—the knowledge of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful—by means of thoughtful, teacher-oriented instruction, in order to instill wisdom and virtue, so that the student may truly understand and serve the world well to the glory of God.
LLS creates an environment of engagement and discipline.
A Traditional Classroom
Our classrooms are arranged with the teachers at the front of the room engaging students in a traditional classroom atmosphere of interaction between teacher and student. The knowledgeable, enthusiastic teacher carefully leads students into an understanding of each subject.
Classrooms are quiet, orderly, and disciplined with a low student to teacher ratio allowing for each student to be known by his or her teacher. Lessons are incremental, content is age-appropriate, and students learn the important skill of quality work completed in a timely manner.
Homework is for the purpose of practicing or preparing for a lesson. The traditional classroom is consistent with human nature, and the experience of many decades has demonstrated its superiority over the modern, child-centered classroom.
“Learning is thrilling. Being entertained gets boring.”
— Cheryl Lowe, Highlands Latin School
