The Upper Campus offers a challenging curriculum for grades 3-5 in an inclusive environment. Our strong academic program, coupled with fun and engaging extracurricular activities, make LHCS an ideal neighborhood school.

Mission: Fostering critical thinking and social responsibility in an inclusive learning environment.

Vision: Nurturing every student’s greatest potential.

Two Campuses. One Community

LHCS provides kindergarten through 5th grade on two campuses in SW Minneapolis. Our newly remodeled and expanded Lower Campus, K-2, offers an intimate setting ideally suited for young learners. The Upper Campus offers a challenging curriculum for grades 3-5 in an inclusive environment.
