Students

As of 2005, LCS enrolls 365 students; 232 in boarding (grades 9–12) and 133 in day (grades 7–12) status.

The boarding students are divided into houses, each with an adult 'Head of House' who acts as a parent and a 'don' who acts like an older brother or sister while the student is away from home. There are five boys' boarding houses and five girls' boarding houses which contain student dormitories, washrooms, common areas, a Head of House apartment, and a Don apartment. Each has an average of 23 students and two adults.

The day students are also divided into houses, however with no actual physical building. There are two senior houses (grades 9-12) and one junior (grades 7 and 8) house, each with a 'Head of House'. These students get together for social events and the Head of House acts as a mentor and liaison between the students and administrative aspect of the school.

All students also have an academic advisor, who helps with course selection, university admission, and arranging extra help (including tutoring) if necessary.
