Los Angeles Christian School

Los Angeles Christian School (LACS) is a U.S. nonprofit organization with a mission to provide a quality Christian education to students, fostering academic excellence, Christian character, and self-confidence. The school aims to empower young people to become leaders in their community.

History

LACS has its roots in the work of World Impact, Inc., which began running Bible clubs for children in inner-city Los Angeles in 1965. World Impact's vision was to develop young disciples of Christ, but it soon became evident that these children were not receiving adequate education in public schools. This realization led to the establishment of LACS to address the need for a quality, safe education that would help raise well-educated, confident Christian leaders[3].

In 2021, Los Angeles Christian School became its own nonprofit organization, marking a significant milestone in its development[3].

Mission and Objectives

The school's mission is centered on nurturing academic excellence, cultivating Christian character, and fostering self-confidence among its students. It seeks to empower them for leadership roles in the city. This is achieved by:

• Academic Competence: Preparing students to thrive in future academic settings by adhering to national and state standards.
• Christian Character: Focusing on the development of integrity, compassion, and respect through the Fruits of the Spirit.
• Self-Confidence: Encouraging students to speak boldly about their beliefs and lead others.
• Community: Building a supportive community where families and staff care for each other with mutual love and respect[1][4].
