School Notes

Lawton Chiles Prepratory School is a comprehensive four-year private high school enrolling 40 students in grades 1 - 12 for the 2011 - 2012 school year.
The school opened in the fall of 1971.
Lawton Chiles Preparatory School is accredited by the National Private School Accreditation Alliance.
LCPS is designed for students who are talented and gifted and feel held back in the traditional school system.
Many of our students are twice exceptional, being both gifted and also having a learning disabiliity, mental illness or aspergers or other challenge that prevents them from excelling in the traditional school system.

At LCPS, we assess students individually and assign core course levels accordingly. We utilize Project-Based Learning and a Universal Design for Learning Framework in the development of our curricula, making material accessible to all students while maintaining rigorous academic standards. The low student to teacher ratio and self-determined pace of learning at LCPS are ideal for highly motivated gifted students who have felt held back by traditional school settings. At LCPS, students are free to reach their full potential with the individual guidance and support of our dedicated faculty.
