What Our Students Say

“School has never been hard for me, earning good grades was always easy. My anxiety was through the roof at my last school, though, and I cried all the time when I was there. The classes here are so cool, I am really learning, really thinking. When I’m on my way to class with a teacher I like, I can’t wait to see what we will learn. The work is just challenging enough - it is hard, but I don’t get stressed out by it.”

What Parents Say

"My daughter, who struggled with and disliked going to the local public school from 6th- 9th grade, immediately felt at ease on her first day of 10th grade at LCS. She now attends school at LCS without complaint every day and talks about what she’s learning when she’s at home. She knows her teachers care about her and her education. They challenge her to do more than she thinks she can do, and they make it clear they believe she’s capable. In her second year at LCS, she believes in herself again too. The staff and teachers at LCS have created and maintained an educational environment of acceptance, safety, respect, engagement and connection. It has transformed my daughter’s life in every way."

“My child was different; he expressed himself differently and didn’t fit any common molds. He was bullied endlessly. He enrolled at LCS last year and today he celebrates how his brain works and appreciates all of the teachers for accepting him and allowing him to learn on his terms. I can’t quite put my gratitude for Ledyard into words. The teachers, staff, and students at LCS are amazing. They accept people as they are, and kids have the room to grow. I have watched my child transform in just a year - I can’t wait to see what future holds for him.”
