Middle School Registration

For After Your Student’s Application is Accepted

Registration in a Nutshell

At LAU, parents register their students for courses in our Student Information Services (SIS) system. 

Use the info on this page to explore class offerings and what we recommend by grade for middle school.

How to Register for Courses in SIS:

  1. Sign in to your SIS parent account.
  2. Under “My Students,” click the tab with your student’s name on it.
  3. Click on the “Registration” tab.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your student’s courses in each subject. We recommend registering for both the fall and winter semesters at the same time. By default, SIS is designed to show courses for your student's grade. To see additional classes that may pertain to them, click "Show All Courses" toward the bottom of the screen.

    Note: You can ignore all tuition prices shown in SIS, unless you plan to self-pay for a particular course.

  5. Once you’ve selected your student’s courses, move through the final confirmation steps. That’s it!

For help with any of the above steps, please contact our Registrar.

 

Types of Courses at LAU

We have two unique Adventures courses to choose from with a Flex schedule in some locations:

  • Outdoor Adventures (Fall) – Includes activities like hiking, rock climbing, rowing, and more to increase confidence and grit
