International Student Policy
LHCS Statement of Purpose
"We believe it is our responsibility as Christians to raise children in the light of God's Word. The education of children must be Christ-centered, equipping them to become responsive disciples of Christ who seek the will of the Lord in all aspects of life."
LHCS Mission Statement
"For the children of Christian parents, Laurentian Hills Christian School provides Christ-centered quality education to the whole child in a supportive, loving, diverse, dynamic and growing parent run school."
LHCS Vision Statement
"Kitchener-Waterloo Christian School Society advances dynamic, excellent Christ-centered education through unconstrained facilities, exceptional programs, and extensive resources that cultivate responsive disciples of Christ."
The intent of this program is to provide Christian Education to non-Canadian students who do not speak English as a First Language. The concept is that the program must cover all the costs of operating the program and must be comparable to the current program for all students.
