Lake Country Christian School

What Lake Country Christian School does

Lake Country Christian School (LCCS) is a private, faith-based PK-12 institution founded in 1980 in Fort Worth, Texas, currently serving 617 students across Early Education, Elementary, Intermediate, Middle School, and High School divisions on a 30-acre campus. The school is dual-accredited by ACSI and Cognia (SACS-CASI), with both accreditations carrying Texas state approval through TEPSAC. LCCS delivers a college-preparatory curriculum integrated with a proprietary Biblical worldview framework (CBRR: Created, Broken, Redeemed, Restored), differentiating itself through Christian worldview integration, small class sizes (22-24 maximum in middle/high school), and a documented 90+ church student-body ecosystem. Supporting programs include a TAPPS 4A/Division III athletics department, a fine arts program ranked #1 in Texas for choir, a House System for high school leadership development, and a College Advising service using SCOIR.

The school's revenue model is primarily tuition-based, with 2026-27 annual tuition ranging from $7,345 (PK-3 day program) to $18,920 (9th-12th grade), billed through FACTS tuition management with options for annual, semi-annual, 10-month, or 12-month payment plans. Supplemental revenue streams include one-time enrollment/application fees, auxiliary programs (after-care, summer camps, private arts instruction via RockPrep), and donations/fundraising (North Texas Giving Day, Tip Your Hat Gala, LCCS IN ACTION annual fundraiser). Distribution is direct and regional: prospective families must complete a campus tour, online application, testing, and family interview through a sales-led admissions process managed by the Director of Admissions. Recent strategic moves include approval as a Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) participating school in December 2025, opening a state-funded scholarship channel for the 2026-27 school year, and ongoing campus expansion (TGR Spirit Facility opened October 2024). The school operates as an independent non-profit governed by a volunteer School Board with no external ownership or venture capital investment.
