High School
Grades 8 – 12
Our High School program continues to build on the foundation of our strong elementary foundation. In High School, youth face many changes and decisions as they mature physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We strive to remain sensitive to the needs of individual students and to support and equip them through knowing them, loving them and teaching them to think Christianly in all subject areas.
Our High School students are offered a variety of electives and challenged to excel in all subject areas. Students have access to Chromebooks, a science lab, art and home economics facilities. They are given opportunities for leadership and community service including, in Grades 11/12, an annual missions trip to serve in a developing country. Students lead chapels through worship teams and frequently share testimonies or special applications of scripture.
Students enroll in core academic subjects including Math, Sciences, Social Studies, English, French, Bible, Planning 10, Grad Transitions and PE. Electives combine with the core subjects to complete the program. Elective subjects will vary based on the school means and student interests. Based on demand the electives we offer are Fine Arts, Music/Band, Home Economics, Information Technology, Outdoor Education, Photography, Law, History, Geography, Entrepreneurship and Yearbook Publication.

Academics
Students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses get a feel for the rigors of college/university level studies within the support of a high school environment. Students taking AP courses demonstrate to post-secondary admissions officers that they have sought out an educational experience that will prepare them for success at college/university.
Each AP course concludes with an optional college/university level exam developed and scored by post-secondary faculty and experienced AP teachers. This exam has an associated exam fee.
Students who are successful in AP courses can potentially earn an extra four (4) credits towards their transcript and may be able to enroll directly into the second year course at the post-secondary institution they attend, subject to the policies of that institution.

Students reach out to the community through service opportunities. In High School, students are challenged to assist with local ministries such as the Union Gospel Mission. Our senior students will also have the opportunity to participate in outreach to a third world country to assist in Christian education. LGCA students are being trained to impact the world for God.
Service Outreach
Athletics play a vital role in school life. We have a dedicated High School Athletics Director. Students participate in a variety of sports teams and clubs. Our growing athletics program currently includes Cross-Country, Volleyball, Basketball, Flag Football, ultimate frisbee and Badminton. New athletic opportunities continue to present themselves as our school grows.
