Trustworthy
No matter what generation you are from, honing the skill to discern and critically evaluate truth is an absolute necessity yet the culture at large and its intimate relationship with technology has clandestinely trained us to seek other more convenient and comfortable pursuits. LCS is not to be hoodwinked. As a staff team in collaboration with administration, we are committed to walking with your family on a journey, partnering with you to build the future Christian leaders of tomorrow, from PK through 12. This leadership journey is designed to produce young adults who know their true identity in Christ, know the God Who designed that identity, and become transformed so that they will be able to discern their role as they impact the world for Christ. Below are the 3 core values that express our commitment as a school. They are challenging and yet possible with God! They communicate truth and the promise of transformation.
We consistently seek out opportunities to know and encourage our students’ spiritual, academic, physical, social-emotional, and creative development.
We foster clear, consistent and intentional communication with families in order to partner with parents, recognizing the pivotal role they have in supporting the mission that defines how we provide Christian Education at LCS.
We will continue to grow spiritually and professionally as educators to provide a quality and well-rounded experience that honors God first and foremost.
Be encouraged by this declaration! Pray for us as we begin to prepare for the next school year. We will be praying for you and all the families that the Lord will lead to Loudonville Christian School. Have a wonderful summer season! I have added a Suggested Summer Reading List for Parents. Please take a look!
Blessings,
Kristen Zaloom

“We’re going to be apart for a time.”
I was a bit taken aback when I heard those words. The words weren’t spoken to me, but they were quite startling to hear. My first thought was, “Did I hear that correctly?” I quickly replayed the video clip.
Nothing about those exact words seems particularly interesting or surprising at face value. In fact, I could say those words to you as we part for summer break and it would be both fitting and uninteresting. But in the context they were spoken, they shook me a bit.
“We’re going to be apart for a time.” You see, these were the words of a dying man in regard to his wife.
“Apart for a time.” The secular world must think we are truly peculiar people. But it’s true. As Christians, we know and trust that even death will only separate us for a time from those we love. We will be united again in eternity with those who are also save by Christ’s immeasurable gift. But even as a believer, it can be difficult to find that kind of faith in the face of death.
As I’ve read more about heaven this past year, my faith has grown immensely. I don’t fear that separation anymore. I believe it will truly be a blink of an eye. I’ll simply be apart from my family for a time. I look forward to being there in heaven with loved ones and my Savior. But while we’re here, we have much to do.
So while we’re apart for a time this summer, enjoy family time, a vacation, or just a day relaxing in the sun. Keep investing spiritually in your children this summer. These are special days. They come and they go so quickly. Take even the more challenging moments with an eternal perspective.
Have a beautiful summer! We’ll see you again soon!

Current Sophomore Families: your students will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT in the Fall of 2026. Here is a link to the "Why" of taking the exam, and the "How" for preparing to take it: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat-suite-benefits-students-parents/why-take-psat/why-take-psat-nmsqt
Junior Families: Take a good look at your SAT scores. Do you feel you want to take them again? It is not a bad idea since some of your students may be very close to another level of scholarship from their school of choice.
Congratulations to the Seniors as they graduate and move on to their school/program of choice!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
