LSL isn’t just for gifted kids, it creates gifted kids

Your middle schooler can be doing
high school science!

LSL is a 3-year online program teaching middle school students high school honors-level science and language.

Year 1’s chemistry, 2’s biology, 3’s physics, and in language we learn vocabulary, grammar, writing, and poetry.

We meet 75 min once a week where we do a 4-page Classwork to introduce new ideas, then there’s a 6-page Homework due before the next class expanding on those ideas.

36 weeks across the traditional school year (late Aug to early Jun) with the classic breaks (fall, winter, spring).

Make honors feel like review

Our middle schoolers study high school honors-level material, so high school honors classes feel like review – higher grades with less stress.

Access APs sooner

Our middle schoolers study high school honors-level material, so ambitious students can jump into AP classes as early as freshman year.

More competitive college apps

Higher grades, in harder classes, earlier in high school – this leads to a higher GPA, higher class rank, and stronger college applications.

Give your kids the best education

LSL is the best! And Mr. Lendaris is a fantastic teacher! Classes are fun, educational, and well-organized. The course covers high school subjects in a way that even elementary-aged kids can enjoy and understand. My kids love doing LSL!
Joyce, parent
I like LSL because I like learning about chemistry. And I like Mr. Lendaris because he’s funny and kind and smart. My big brother was doing LSL first and I wanted to do it too because it looked fun! I had to wait 2 years until I was old enough to join!
Emily, student
LSL has empowered my son, Lucas, to excel in science and language well beyond the benchmarks of his school. Since joining LSL this year, Lucas’ vocabulary has soared! The well-crafted curriculum presents complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand. These concepts are building blocks for life. We love Mr. Lendaris!
James, parent
I like LSL and the teacher and the things I learn. It’s the best!
