Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) in Madison, Wisconsin is the largest non-sectarian private school in the area. ALCS was founded by Lake City Church (formerly Madison Gospel Tabernacle) in 1978. The school's mission is to promote "Christian character and academic excellence."[1] This K4–12 school shares its 28-acre (110,000 m2) campus with Lake City Church[2] and Campus for Kids daycare[3]. While the three ministries are closely related, the students and staff represent over 60 churches and many communities in Madison and its suburbs.
