High School Admissions

The goal of the high school admissions process at LCP is to help ensure that each student gains acceptance into a school environment well suited to his or her academic strengths, personal interests and individual needs. To that end, the high school admissions process at LCP exists to assist our families with the ins and outs of applying to high school.

LCP provides a matriculation administrator to manage each student’s application materials from its receipt by LCP to its submission to the desired high school admissions department. LCP keeps the families of eighth-grade students informed of any open houses, option fairs and visitation days to local high schools. LCP provides in-class test prep programs during the school year and an intensive test prep program during summer school.

LCP teachers complete the recommendation materials provided by each school AND write personal letters on behalf of each of their students. Every application package is carefully checked by the school director before being sent out.
