Ludington Area Catholic School, which was originally St. Simon School, provides a quality, Catholic education to students in preschool through 8th grade. We have a long, rich history of educating the children of today for the future of tomorrow. Our faith, dovetailed with our strong standards of academic excellence has laid a solid foundation for our students' future.
Our faith is woven throughout everything we do. We take pride in our Catholic heritage and help nurture and grow faith within our students so they can develop their own personal relationship with Jesus. Opportunities are regularly offered to help our students continue to grow in their faith. We encourage and promote Christian service opportunities and we witness many of our current students, and graduates, apply their faith in various ministerial roles in the parish and greater community.
We are proud of the academic performance of our students. Standardized test scores of our students are impressive and students continue to perform well as they progress through high school. A majority of our students stay on the honor roll as they progress through high school and a large percentage become members of the National Honor Society. Their foundation of faith, coupled with strong academics, helps to prepare our students of today for the future of tomorrow.

Faith
Ludington Area Catholic School provides its students a solid foundation in our Catholic faith. LAC continually strives to enhance and deepen the faith of each student through its religion curriculum, weekly Masses, daily prayers, and Christian service opportunities. The faith life of students is also nurtured through time spent in prayer in the Adoration Chapel, special prayer services during Advent, and Station of the Cross during Lent. Religious field trips, learning about the saints, retreats, sacramental preparation and opportunities to serve in ministerial roles at Mass also provide an opportunity for a deepening of faith. The rosary is said in class, in the memorial rosary garden outside, and schoolwide as a living rosary.
