Pre-University
LCC is unique in its offering of the Pre-University: Grade 12 program, which not only prepares students for university entrance, but also fosters characteristics of personal responsibility, perseverance and leadership that will serve a graduate throughout university and into professional life. We will work collaboratively with you during the admissions process to determine the best educational choice for your child. To do so, we gather as much information about the student as we can, to ensure mutual understanding and informed decisions.
Please review the information below and feel free to contact the Admissions Office if you have any questions or need assistance.
My Pre-U experience challenged me, allowed me to flourish both academically and personally, and above all, is a time I cherished. To be surrounded by passionate and driven students, and supported by an incredible faculty through the difficult process of transitioning to college, was invaluable. I felt at home in Pre-U, and will forever thank LCC for helping me down the path towards my future.
