Our Mission

It is our mission to meet, welcome, and validate our students where they are, to develop an educational pathway that will engage them, to help them heal when needed, to facilitate them redefining what is possible for their lives, and to teach them the academic, work and life skills that they will need for a future that they are inspired to live well.  

 

What we Offer:

  • Highly engaging, relevant, hands-on curriculum

  • Personalized education paths for all students

  • Academic support for any student who needs extra help

  • Close teacher/student relationships 

  • Positive culture promoting acceptance and compassion

  • Differentiation in academics so that students are met where they are

  • A warm, home like atmosphere where students have access to healthy food, warm clothes, and support.

Our Philosophy

=

At Ledyard Charter School, we believe every student can learn and succeed when given the right environment, support, and opportunities.

​

We provide an alternative to the traditional high school experience, helping students build confidence, discover their strengths, and create a path toward a successful future.

​

We value engagement, connection, self-advocacy, respect, and resilience. We see challenges and mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow, and we encourage students to take ownership of their education and their life.

​

Our goal is to help students become independent, responsible, and prepared for life after high school—whether that means college, career, or another path toward meaningful participation in their community.

 

“At LCS I have so many friends and I am excited to get ready and come to school every day. I still have anxiety, but I am allowed to take breaks from class whenever I need to, and I can find time to make free art most days. The work is just challenging enough - it is hard, but I don’t get stressed out by it.” - Willow, Grade 10
