Our Mission

When we learn, we grow.
When we lead, we serve.
When we connect, we thrive.

Our Vision

We are going to be the most exciting learning environment in Africa, where learning is challenging and joyful, designed by students and teachers together.

Lincoln Community School Values

 

Don’t just tell me how it’s done. Let me try.

 

We don’t dream of success. We work hard for it. Learning is about trying things out for yourself, not just being told about them.

Lincoln Community School Values

 

Whatever happens, it’s what you do next that matters.

 

Life is an adventure and learning should be too.

Lincoln Community School Values

 

Be kind. It opens doors and minds.

 

It means everything but it costs nothing. Let’s look after ourselves, each other and surroundings, so that the world we live in is better than when we found it.

Lincoln Community School Values

 

The more we do together, the more we achieve.

 

There’s unity in diversity when we share a purpose.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice for Belonging

Lincoln Community School is a diverse learning community of students, their families, support staff, faculty, and school leaders. We embrace our differences with respect, care, and appreciation. We recognize that the strength of our community lies in the unique journey each individual takes to find a sense of belonging at our school. It is our collective responsibility to help each other foster an environment where this journey is supported and encouraged. Every day, all community members will treat each other fairly and ensure that everyone belongs, is safe, welcomed, and supported.

Service Learning at LCS

When we lead, we serve.  Not only is service part of our mission statement it is also one of the main themes or ‘big rocks’ at LCS.

Service Learning is embedded in the curriculum and is a key part of our extra-curricular program too.
