Dear Parents, Alumni and Friends of LCS,
This inaugural edition of the LCS Annual Report focuses on the 2011-12 school year. In subsequent years we plan to publish the annual report in late fall. Our goals are to provide a snapshot of the progress of the school, increase transparency related to financial matters and to express appreciation for the generous financial support that has blessed LCS throughout the year.
During 2011-12 the school completed a lengthy and deliberate process of revising the school’s mission statement and formulating a listing of ten core values. The school’s mission has not changed, but a more focused and up-to-date expression of that mission was developed.
In February, LCS hosted visiting evaluation teams from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), The Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS), The Florida Kindergarten Council (FKC), and The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). All agencies granted LCS accreditation renewal through 2017.
LCS sought outside counsel to strengthen our enrollment efforts. We are grateful for the participation of parents, staff and alumni in various surveys and focus groups that assisted us in the reorganization of the
enrollment office and processes. These changes have enabled us to improve our service to both current and in-coming families.
Many exciting happenings are enumerated in the following pages, but this report would not be complete without a sad note. Mr. R.P. Robbins went home to glory in November of 2011. He was a founding board member and served on the board from 1954-2007. All of us who enjoy the LCS of today owe a profound debt of gratitude for his commitment and service to the mission of LCS for more than 53 years.
I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to see God’s faithfulness to LCS for the past 40 years. The partnership of parents, staff and board members has been blessed by God to create a very special place. May God enable us to be faithful stewards of the sacred trust that is LCS.
With Appreciation,
Mike Sligh, Ed. D.Headmaster

Dear LCS Family and Friends,
What a privilege to serve on the Board of Directors of Lakeland Christian School, one of the premier Christian schools in our country. It is an honor to serve alongside men and women who understand the high calling of providing oversight to this outstanding institution. I am pleased to have been a Board Member for 22 years and have served as Chairman for the past 14.
My first involvement with LCS was 23 years ago when the oldest of my three children entered kindergarten. Although I knew, even then, that LCS was a special place, I certainly couldn’t fully foresee the tremendous blessings Lakeland Christian would provide to my family through the years.
I now look forward to an additional role on campus – my oldest grandchild, as a four-year-old, has begun what we anticipate will be a long and fruitful period of his life as an LCS student. And what a time to be affiliated with Lakeland Christian School. LCS is, truly, a school on the move!
On behalf of my fellow Board members, let me take this opportunity to thank you for your partnership with the school, as we count on your engagement in this critical undertaking of Christian schooling.
I am pleased to report that LCS is fiscally strong; enjoying robust enrollment; blessed with skilled, Christian, professional educators; and equipped with marvelous facilities.
Most important, though – what a blessing that LCS students are taught to view all the world from the perspective of God’s Word. Although we have challenging academics, championship athletics and award-winning fine arts, the true distinctive of Lakeland Christian School is that the Scriptures form the foundation upon which all the students’ pursuits are built.
Finally, let me express my gratitude to those faithful stewards who financially support the mission and on-going work of LCS. Excellent Christian schooling is expensive, and we count on private support to keep Lakeland Christian vibrant. You are standing beside us as we equip the next generation for a life of learning, leadership, service and worship.
May God bless your family in 2013!
Kevin C. KnowltonSenior Shareholder, Peterson & Myers, P.A.Chairman, LCS Board of Directors
We trust this first-ever Lakeland Christian School Annual Report will reflect the goodness of God to our school.
Through His gracious provision, we have experienced abundant blessings in every facet of school life. We are
grateful for His sustaining presence through the years and for how we continue to experience His goodness.
We strive to honor God through the management of our school finances and to continue to be wise stewards of gracious
contributions to LCS. In our desire for transparency, we present the information on the following pages as a report on the
blessed condition of Lakeland Christian School for the 2011-12 year.

Lakeland Christian is one of the nation’s premier private Christian Schools, providing
challenging academics, championship athletics and award-winning fine arts. The school’s
primary distinction, though, is the Biblical worldview that permeates every facet of
school life. LCS truly sharpens minds and shepherds hearts by providing education in the
light of God’s Word.

Lakeland Christian has been blessed with a sound
financial operation for its 58 years of serving the
community. That’s because the school strives to be
a careful, conscientious steward of the resources
necessary to manage the school operation. once
again, LCs ended its fiscal year in the black and was
able to place approximately $300,000 in its cash
reserve fund for future opportunities. The modest
tuition increase for 2011-12, in light of the
comprehensive program, continued to allow
LCs to provide great value to school families.

operating an excellent Christian school is expensive. The on-going needs of LCs will always exceed the
operational revenue of the school – and especially with a school that maintains a moderate tuition year
after year. The school counts on the stewardship of ministry partners, those who stand beside and behind
LCs with faithful support. The following information reflects their heartfelt generosity:

h o w t o g i v e t o L C sgood financial planning honors god, may help you avoid unnecessary taxes and may enable you to make a larger gift. as you prioritize your stewardship plans, we share these ideas to help you identify the most effective ways to invest as a financial partner with Lakeland Christian school.
Cash Gifts and Pledges
This represents the most direct method for making a contribution. You may provide a single gift or make a pledge. Multi-year pledges offer the opportunity to maximize your support. Online giving is also available.
Appreciated Assets
A gift of appreciated stock or real estate you have owned for more than one year will generate a tax deduction based upon the fair market value.
Tangible Personal Property
If you make a gift of a boat, automobile or other tangible personal property, you will enjoy certain tax advantages.
Gifts in Kind
The possibilities for giving “in-kind” are limitless. LCS uses and needs many goods and services, especially those related to the building campaign.
Matching Gifts
Many corporations offer matching gift programs for current or retired employees. For more information, contact your company’s personnel office.
Planned Gifts
Consult with your attorney and other financial advisors to provide for LCS through your estate and tax planning. These charitable vehicles allow you to maximize your giving and/or minimize the impact on your estate. A planned gift is made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s overall estate/tax planning.
