Lumen Christi High School

As a non-Catholic, I was worried my kids would receive either corporal punishment or religious indoctrination.
I’m delighted to report that not only have neither of these occurred, but Lumen has surpassed all my expectations how kids are treated and educated. Both character and academically.
Previous ASD teachers would regularly offer my kids time to redo poor test scores or missed homework. Nice for the kid? Yes, but not preparing them for the tough road ahead. Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
I was surprised how affordable LC is, and that they now offer a limited bus service to the south side of town.
The teachers and staff make Lumen an amazing place and I’m so appreciative we found it.

We are huge fans of Lumen. Our son is getting an amazing academic curriculum with teachers and staff who sincerely care about his future and well being. We know he will be ready for College and the world when he graduates from Lumen. They truly teach and support confidence, giving, kindness and living up to each student's full potential. I'm excited to see where my child will land after his time at Lumen. I know they are preparing him for a great future!

The best school! Great coach, teachers, staff and parents!!! Learned a lot from this school not only academics but also values, faith, family, development of skills and talents in sports, arts, science & Community involvement, volunteerism, leadership and more!!! I am honored that I had a chance to be with Lumen during my middle school. Will drop by sometime.

This is our second year at Lumen Christ and we are extremely happy with the choice we made for our daughter. The above-average test scores and 100% graduation rate are a direct result of the high-quality teaching and the caliber of the staff, who take an effective, creative approach to teaching, while emphasizing the Catholic faith. The extracurricular activities are an added bonus (our daughter has participated in soccer, band, and student government) and the small class sizes with active participation create a vibrant learning experience. The affordable tuition is also one of the lowest in Anchorage and a steal for the quality of education the students receive. I would encourage anyone to contact the school and take a tour - you will not be disappointed!

I'll be honest. My son didn't want to go to Lumen. All he wanted was to attend public school with his friends from elementary school and the kids from our neighborhood. But the small class sizes, caring, dedicated teachers and staff and the faith component were no match for his repeated pleas, whines even tears!
So, off he went on his first day both nervous and mad as a hornet, barely making eye contact with me. When I picked him up after school and asked how it went he shrugged and said "eh" and asked what was for dinner.
Back we went the next morning, but this time when he got in the car after school (as a reminder: ON THE SECOND DAY) he turned, looked me straight in the eye and said "Mom. I love this school. It's so great. I'm so happy I'm here. The teachers are really nice. I can tell I'm going to learn a lot here. It's so fun." On. The. Second. Day. Honestly I thought for a second aliens had abducted our son and replaced him with someone else.
Needless to say, we've never looked back. And will be getting ready to launch kid #2 into Lumen arms come Sept!

Was excellent for our kids and our niece and nephew. The teachers and staff care about the kids and do everything they can to help them become successful
