  English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is always available to new students at LCIS, and our highly qualified teachers have plenty of experience integrating students from many different language backgrounds. No matter your home language, your child will be supported to adapt quickly and succeed in school, both academically and socially.

• How do you support the wellbeing of your students?

  Nurturing students’ health and wellbeing is one of the most important things we do as a school. That’s why Personal, Social, Health and Emotional (PSHE) education is at the heart of our curriculum. Our weekly PSHE lessons address topics such as social and emotional wellbeing, developing study skills, and honing a positive mindset for learning. Our secondary school counsellors are also onsite to support our students and their families whenever needed.
• Do students wear uniforms?

  Our IB students are expected to be role models for our younger learners in all aspects of their behaviour, including adherence to the dress code, which can be described as “smart business attire”. We ask students to ensure that their dress is appropriate for a working environment.
• Do you offer a lunch service?

  Yes, our onsite catering team prepares fresh, delicious and nutritious meal options for our students every day.
• When do you accept applications?

  We accept applications throughout the year, and new students may enrol after the academic year begins.
