Lake Cowichan School
Lake Cowichan School (LCS) is located on the traditional, unceded lands of the Ts’uubaa-asatx people and we are grateful to work, learn, and play on this beautiful land. Cowichan Lake also known as Kaatza, meaning “The Lake” is a small community on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The community of Lake Cowichan is home to the Ts’uubaa-asatx Nation (with roots to the Dididaht group of tribes).
Our school is situated in a small multi-generational lakeside community. This idyllic community is in the town of Lake Cowichan, surrounded by the beautiful heritage of the Cowichan River flowing through the center of town. We have many students that come to us from other communities that comprise the Cowichan Lake community. These communities include Youbou, Honeymoon Bay, Mesachie Lake, and Caycuse.
Lake Cowichan School is approximately 390 students in grades 4 through 12. Together students are learning, discovering, taking risks and developing life-long friendships in an environment that is safe, caring, supportive and responsive. To help with this, the school encourages parents and guardians to be supportive of the school’s policies and encourages parental involvement as needed and as appropriate.
