We Work Together
LCAS opened its doors in 1922 in downtown Centralia, Washington. In 1952 we moved to Scheuber Road, and in 2012 the current building was completed. Our 100+ year history is rich with educational outcomes; we work to provide a safe, close-knit, inclusive learning environment for our students.
Our Vision
At LCAS, we strive to be a supportive learning community where students grow as curious learners, compassionate citizens, confident leaders, and faithful followers of God.
Our Mission
Our purpose is to inspire each student to experience Christ daily through academics and service.
Our Purpose
At LCAS, students LEARN how to develop a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. We CREATE systems and processes to support learning in an environment that nurtures the learner in mind, body, heart and spirit. Our students ACHIEVE through highly skilled instructors, scientifically developed creation-based curriculum that fosters critical thinking that adheres to industry standards. Finally, LCAS trains students to SERVE through extracurricular and enrichment activities with intentional engagement within the community.
