Clubs and Enrichment

La Cañada Preparatory is proud to offer lunchtime clubs to our 1st-8th grade students.  Although LCP has some established clubs that have stood the test of time, students are welcomed to pitch a new club idea to the Enrichment Director in hopes of starting a new tradition.

Chess Club

The LCP Chess Club competition consists of 20-minute speed matches wherein players compete for steps on a challenge ladder. Each Winter/Spring, the club hosts an open tournament to raise money for the clubs. LCP Chess Club is open to students in the 2nd through the 8th grades.

Science Club

The purpose of the Science Club is twofold: to engage students in science in a fun and relaxed manner outside the classroom, and to allow students the freedom to explore science outside of the textbook and classroom.  

Computer Club

The LCP Computer Club is for those students who are serious about engineering.  Members will expand upon their knowledge and exceed the standards of the regular enrichment course.

Art Club

The LCP Art Club provides supervised time with the school's art teacher to explore outside the confines of the regular curriculum.  Students can spend time on personal projects while receiving suggestions and technical assistance.

Debate Club

Debate Club gives students of all abilities a fun way to develop their oracy skills, improve their critical thinking skills and become more confident communicators. Members also become more informed about political and global affairs in the process.  The LCP Debate Club is intended to introduce students for debate in high school.

Ancestry Club

The purpose of Ancestry Club is to assist students in discovering more about their family geneologies.  Members use the Ancestry.com application to find out who their ancestors are, what region of the country/world their families are from and how their ancestors found their way to Southern California.

Student Government

Each September, LCP elects a student council from among their peers.  The student council not only gives the student body a voice within the schools’ administration but also sponsors annual events and fundraisers throughout the year.

The student council is made up of the following seventh and eighth-grade officers: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and sergeant-at-arms.  In addition, each of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth-grade classes elects one representative to the council.  Students may also volunteer to be on the council as at-large members.

Drama Club

Drama Club allows students to explore the theater world through acting, scenic design, costume design, writing and directing.

Dance Club

The Dance Club encourages students to get up on their feet and move.  Stretching and choreography are all part of the Dance Club experience.  Members sometimes join the Winter Sing to perform.
