The League directors work in harmony with school administrators who understand the value of Club Academics, in much the same way that many students participate in Club Athletics. Similar to year-round Club Sports & Athletics the League program runs independent of any school system and is a competitive year-round academic club team. This novel setting allows the League to provide a platform that pertains to the top academic students from both public and private high schools, seeking an extracurricular academic challenge. The nature of the League, thereby connects students from a variety of schools, who collaborate as fellow delegates on the same delegation for many years, often staying in the League from 6th grade through high school.
While the common factor uniting all League delegates is higher academics, LCM is specifically for those students with a passion for current World Affairs, Parliamentary Debate & Diplomacy.
