Beginning in the 2003-2004 school year, Grade 9 students began attending the school, in accordance with a nearly province-wide grade reconfiguration that saw "middle" school become grades 6-8, and "high school" redefined as grades 9-12. The school offers several specialty programs, including the internationally recognized International Baccalaureate program.

International Baccalaureate

edit

The International Baccalaureate program is locally similar to the Advanced Placement Program, which is offered at L.C.I. Courses offered include Social Studies, Mathematics, French, Spanish, Biology, Chemistry, and Music.
