Our blend of curricular and co-curricular activities fosters the holistic development of all our students, enabling them to become progressive members of a fast-paced and pluralistic society. We also aim to foster an environment that encourages life-long learning, engages students' natural curiosity and prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing world.

The Student Council was established to provide students with the voice and choice to create a mind-set of self-direction and a powerful student-centric movement. Members have the opportunity to hone their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills and learn about the ethics of fair governance and the essence of democracy. Some of the key skills that they develop include reflection, responsibility for oneself and others, teamwork, valuing multiple perspectives and leadership.
The Student Council consists of a Primary Student Council (Grade 4) and Secondary Student Council (Grades 8 to 10) with 14 members each. These council members are democratically elected by their fellow students and teachers based on the parameters of integrity, leadership and academic achievement. The Student Council is led by the School Captains (Head Boy and Head Girl), School Vice Captains, Cultural Captains and Vice Captains, Sports Captains and Vice Captains and the House Captains and Vice Captains.
LSHSA follows a traditional methodology of apportioning pupils into smaller groups, known as houses, to create smaller communities within the wider school community. This enables students to demonstrate and develop social values and team spirit.
Each house's name is inspired by various eminent personalities in India. The four houses have a symbol, name and colour: Mahatma Gandhi House (Yellow), Mother Teresa House (Blue), A.P.J. Abdul Kalam House (Red) and Rabindranath Tagore House (Green). Furthermore, each House is represented by the House Captain and led by the House Master (teacher).
Every student from Grade 1 onwards is assigned to one of the houses and remains in the same house throughout their school life. The students contribute to their house by participating in various inter-house competitions in sports, cultural and academic related activities throughout the year. The house with the most points wins the coveted Diamond House Trophy for the academic year.
At LSHSA we firmly believe that parents play a pivotal role in the functioning of a school and the overall development of their children. Parents of all Sections are offered a variety of opportunities to participate in various school activities. They are also invited as resource persons to interact with students and other parents. Parents are encouraged to volunteer their time and support the school to facilitate their child's overall development. Parental attendance on Open Days and Parent Teacher Meetings (PTMs) is compulsory.
LSHSA also seeks parental cooperation through its Parent Teacher Association – Executive Committee (PTA – EC) body. The PTA – EC comprises of parents from the Primary and Secondary Sections who are elected under the guidelines of the State Education Department. The PTA – EC has one parent and one teacher as representatives of each grade. PTA – EC elections are conducted at the beginning of each academic year. Thus, the school encourages an ongoing partnership with parents to ensure the smooth functioning of its operations and support to the community.
LSHSA welcomes alumni to engage and participate in school activities and alumni engagement programmes.
