The Lincoln Community School (LCS) is a private, nonprofit, college preparatory day school which offers educational programs from prekindergarten (age 4) through grade 12.

It was established in 1968 with the aim of being a centre of excellence in the entire West African Region, which appears to be the reason for which the fees are really high.

It is reported that the school year comprises four academic quarters, with the first beginning mid-August and the last ending in mid-June.
