Lafayette Christian School was founded in 1950 by the members of the Lafayette Christian Reformed Church and began with three teachers and 46 students in grades 1-6. The seventh and eighth grades were added the next two years with six students graduating in 1953.
The rationale for the existence of Lafayette Christian School and the reason that parents continue to plan, work, pray, and sacrifice is the same today as it was 50 years ago. They accept the call to joyfully obey God’s command to do their best to see that their children are educated by dedicated, Christian teachers, and to live according to the will of God in service to our Lord Jesus Christ, His church, and the community.
