Where Wonder Meets Rigor

Welcome to LFC, where we believe that learning should be a wonder-filled experience. Our rigorous core curriculum is designed to not only challenge our students but also inspire them to pursue an understanding of how and why the world works, while our enrichment classes in the arts, technology, language, and health provide students with the opportunity to discover and explore their passions and talents. Our goal is to prepare students with the foundational knowledge, toolkit and skills needed to be creative critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

An Advanced Accelerated Pace

We offer a curriculum that provides academically motivated students with the opportunity to take on challenging coursework at an accelerated pace. This approach to learning benefits children by keeping them engaged and challenged, as they are able to learn at a speed that matches their abilities. By providing advanced lessons, we aim to foster a love of learning and promote intellectual curiosity, preparing our students for success in high school, college, and beyond. Our experienced teachers work closely with students to provide individualized support and guidance, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Expectation of Personal Excellence

We hold a deep-rooted belief that personal excellence is more than just a goal; it is an expectation. We know our students are capable of greatness, and because of that, we challenge and support them to reach their fullest potential. Our philosophy is grounded in the understanding that when students are treated as capable, they rise to the occasion—thriving in both academic and personal pursuits.

Our commitment to personal excellence extends beyond academic success. It is about nurturing the whole child—fostering social awareness, emotional intelligence, and physical well-being. By instilling in each student the belief that they are capable of achieving excellence, we help them build a strong sense of self-worth and confidence that transcends the classroom. This positive self-image empowers our students to approach challenges with resilience and determination, qualities that will benefit them in every facet of their lives.
Through our program and activities, students are not only educated but also empowered. They are immersed in an environment where critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving are encouraged at every turn. As they grow and progress, they internalize these values, understanding that excellence is not a distant goal but a daily practice.

This approach not only prepares our students for academic achievement but also equips them with the confidence and leadership skills necessary to excel in any future endeavor. By the time they leave the Eagle's nest, they are ready to soar.
