The Cambridge Curriculum forms the basis of Primary and Secondary at LICS, with Cambridge Checkpoint examinations in Year 6 and Year 9, IGCSE in Years 10–11, and A Levels in Years 12–13. Cambridge International Curricula inform teaching, learning and assessment across the school. A blended learning approach with BYOD supports diverse learning styles and active engagement.
Music is taught from Early Years through Year 9, with options to continue to IGCSE and A-level Music. The Arts Academy enables all students to perform at concerts, school productions and assemblies, with instrumental presentations for all levels and formal occasions such as Graduation Ceremonies and Lusaka Arts Festival Programme. Visual Arts include exhibitions, displays and participation in arts festivals, and extra-curricular art clubs run for each keystage.
LICS fosters an international, multicultural community and promotes cross-cultural understanding as part of its guiding and mission statements. The school emphasizes global citizenship and engagement with wider communities to learn about different cultures, beliefs and environments. The culture aims to promote equality and respect for each other within a diverse student body.
Over 60 afternoon activities are offered, including sports, arts and specialist interests. The school runs an extensive after-school activities programme with enrichment clubs and inter-house activities, and provides opportunities for student leadership. Inter-house competitions and a variety of clubs provide social and hobby-focused engagement beyond the classroom.
LICS runs a robust community service programme, the Education Outreach Programme (LICS-EOP), with participation from students, parents and teachers. The program includes School-to-School Initiatives, Environment and Community Service, Enrichment Programmes for Years 10 and 12, and Global Citizenship Education.

Leadership and professional development are integrated into the school, including opportunities to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh International Award (Bronze, Silver and Gold). The University and Careers Guidance Counsellor runs weekly careers lessons for Years 12–13 and coordinates university visits and information sessions.
