Every Gift Makes the LFCDS Experience Possible
When you give to LFCDS, you invest in the experiences that help students become confident learners, thoughtful leaders, and engaged members of their community.
Tuition covers approximately 85% of the cost of an LFCDS education. The remainder is made possible through the generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends who believe in the power of exceptional teaching, meaningful relationships, and a childhood rooted in curiosity and growth.
Your Gift Supports
Exceptional Teachers: The talented educators who know each child deeply and help them reach their full potential.
Small Class Sizes: A personalized learning experience where every student receives individual attention, support, and challenge.
Financial Assistance: Expanding access to an LFCDS education for talented students and families from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances.

Innovation & Experiential Learning: Hands-on opportunities that encourage creativity, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.
Campus & Community: The spaces, programs, and traditions that make LFCDS a place where students feel connected and inspired to grow.
