We have had a wonderful experience at Loveland Classical’s high school. Classroom sizes are smaller and the students really benefit from the individualized attention they receive because of this. The administration of the school is supportive to family, students, and teachers alike, a near impossible balance to maintain, yet somehow Ian Stout manages this with graciousness and respect. The students at the school are a great mix of different viewpoints, backgrounds, etc., so my student is able to hear an entire spectrum of opinions during classroom discussions (which is something often lacking in other more homogenous charter schools). LCS is also very welcoming and accommodating to students with 504s and IEPs, again something often lacking in charter schools–and also why I would argue that their test scores are lower than other charter schools; they actually work with kids that need student services instead of trying to phase them out. The teachers are one of the greatest gifts of this school. They love what they teach. You can tell this isn’t “just a job” for them; it’s a calling. They treat the high school kids as adults and have a great mentoring relationship with most of them. Lastly, the amount of extra curricular activities here really help create more well-rounded students. For the size of the school, there’s a great amount of activities for kids to be involved in. And since the school is a smaller size, students can be involved in many different activities, not just things they already specialize in. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a enriching, supportive, and challenging high school experience for their children.

I have attended Loveland Classical Schools since its opening three years ago. As a junior, my high school experience at LCS has been nothing short of outstanding. The passion of the staff is truly incredible. Every teacher radiates enthusiasm and excitement for the subject they are teaching. Classes are rarely boring as students are encouraged to participate in engaging class discussions. Reason and logic are constantly used, keeping the student engrossed in intellectual classroom conversations. In past schools, I had been taught to simply memorize and regurgitate facts, however, LCS teaches the importance of thinking for one’s self. My classes have not all been easy, for as a school we seek to achieve “the highest scholarly standard,” but there has been nothing that I was not able to achieve through hard work and dedication. Though the class work may be difficult you are by no means left on your own to figure it out. The teachers are always willing to help and I have had teachers give up their lunch periods and stay late after school to provide the additional help I needed. I could continue to list more and more things that make Loveland Classical a truly outstanding school. My parents have made it clear that I may attend the high school of my choice and every year I have chosen LCS. Loveland Classical is truly both a parent and student choice school.

My son is attending half-day kindergarten at Loveland Classical Schools. I was very nervous going outside the public school system at first. But that feeling did not last long! Loveland Classical Schools is absolutely amazing! They have taken all the things we have lost in our current education system and implemented them in a seamless way. All the teachers work to truly challenge and encourage children to do their best (maybe even beyond what the students’ realize they can do) in a way that encourages their educational self-efficacy. This is something that truly stands out about LCS. They are always looking for ways to promote critical thinking in every subject and emphasize the importance of hard work. The school creates a wonderful sense of community and promotes personal responsibility and integrity. The teachers there are so dedicated to the mission and philosophy of the school and work tirelessly for the children. I can personally say that my son’s teachers truly care for him and are always looking out for his best interest as well as all of the students they are responsible for. Loveland Classical Schools is not only going to set my children up to be ahead of the curve educationally but personally. They are helping to create all around good, intelligent and contributing citizens. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LCS!!
