                                          Academics

                                          Academic Excellence

                                          Our students learn in a traditional classroom setting with small class sizes and individual attention. Our caring teachers seek to help and encourage all students to maximize their potential by emphasizing their overcoming position in Christ. A full academic curriculum, which integrates the Bible into the subject matter, includes reading, grammar, writing, spelling, math, science, history, Bible, music, art, and physical education. In addition, our students take Spanish classes. Secondary school students learn computer keyboarding and document processing as technology is integrated into the curriculum. Annual standardized tests are administered to students starting in first grade. As a member of Association of Christian Schools International, we participate in various competitions and activities.

                                          2011 Highlights - Math Olympics Competition

                                          LGCS entered twenty students in the Northeast ACSI Math Olympics Meet on May 10, 2011.

                                          Contestants included more than 250 students, grades 3 through 8, from 14 Christian schools in the MD-DC area.

                                          LGCS students qualified for this event by scoring in the top 20% range of scores in a series of 'runoff tests' held two weeks prior to the competition. Qualified students in each grade went on to compete in the main event in one of the two categories of tests, computation and reasoning.
