At LCS, student life is more than academics—it's a vibrant blend of fellowship, enrichment, competition, and character development, all rooted in a Christ-centered environment. From the classroom to the athletic field, from clubs to competitions, our students are encouraged to grow in faith, wisdom, and community.
We believe every student is made in the image of God and deserving of respect, kindness, and encouragement. Our school culture reflects this belief by fostering genuine Christian warmth and a sense of dignity in all our interactions. Whether it's in the lunchroom, on the playground, or during chapel, our students experience an atmosphere of grace, where they are known, valued, and loved.
Students have many opportunities to discover and develop their God-given talents through extracurricular activities. One highlight is our Chess Club, where students of all skill levels can learn strategy, practice critical thinking, and enjoy friendly competition. The club meets weekly and participates in regional tournaments, offering students a chance to grow intellectually and socially.
As proud members of the Illinois Association of Christian Schools (IACS), our students take part in a variety of academic, fine arts, and Bible competitions throughout the year. From spelling bees and science fairs to music, speech, and Bible quizzing, IACS events challenge students to pursue excellence for the glory of God while building confidence and camaraderie.
Our school calendar is full of activities designed to unite students in meaningful and memorable ways. Special events include:
Each activity is carefully planned to reinforce our faith, friendship, and fun values.
Our athletic program emphasizes teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal discipline—all within a biblical framework. Depending on grade level and season, we offer a range of sports opportunities, such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, and track and field. Coaches and athletes alike strive to honor Christ through their effort, attitude, and example on and off the field.
Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
