Athletics at LCS

Student-athletes at LCS are offered opportunities for year-round skill development in a variety of sports and activities. With a focus on increasing student’s physical fitness and well-being, our athletics program encourages the development of skills, teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship, and most of all – having fun.

At the elementary school level, the focus is on participation and developing an interest in sports. We aim to have our youngest athletes to learn to show respect for self and others, to value teamwork, and to win and lose gracefully.

In middle and high school, students begin to compete and gain experience playing against other schools and clubs in Ghana and the wider West Africa region.
