The Lebanese Community School (LCS; Arabic: مدرسة الجالية اللبنانية) is a private school in Lagos, Nigeria, that offers classes ranging from kindergarten to twelfth grade. It was established in 1964 by the Lebanese embassy, which still commissions the school. Its language of instruction is English; however, its Lebanese students often use both English and Arabic to communicate with each other.
