What grade levels are offered at Lincoln Christian School?

A student can become a Lincoln Bulldog at the age of 3. Lincoln Christian School offers a 3-Year-Old (3YO) program through 12th grade. 3-year-olds and Pre-K are our preschool program, and classes are located in the lower elementary school building. Kindergarten through 4th grade classes are part of our elementary school. Intermediate Elementary (5th-6th grades) classes are part of the upper elementary located in the Oneighty building. Our middle school (7th–8th grades) and high school (9th–12th grades) are both located in our secondary classroom building.

What is your student-to-teacher ratio?

Smaller class sizes allow teachers to more effectively communicate with and instruct their students. For this reason, we endeavor to maintain the following student-to-teacher average ratios:

• 3YO (14:3)
• Pre-K (12:2)
• Kindergarten (16:1)
• 1st-4th grade (18:1)
• 5th–6th grade (19:1)
• 7th-8th grade (18:1)
• 9th–12th grade (18:1)

What is the length of the school day, and how are the classes structured?

Classes are held five days a week for two 18-week semesters. Middle School and High School are on an A/B alternating schedule, and students attend 4 classes per day on both A and B days along with a 40-minute academic time daily. Our kindergarten program is a full-day program. Our 3YO and Pre-K students have a 2, 3 and 5 day option and come to class from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but actual instruction will only take place between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. so that parents who wish for their child to have a shortened day may do so.

• Kindergarten-4th grade: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
