Lumen Christi College is an Co-educational Catholic grammar school in Derry, Northern Ireland, founded in September 1997. The school is located at the site of the old St Columb's College. The school won the British Telecom Faul Gaelic Cup in 2005 and the North West Rugby blitz title in January 2007. The school is made up of just over 840 students, and 50 teachers. In 2007 the school's Bar Mock Trial team won Northern Ireland's competition and the National Competition in Cardiff.
Lumen Christi has held musicals and talent shows. In 2010, the school musical, which is held every 3–4 years, made its move to St Columb's Hall, as when it was held in the school Assembly Hall, there wasn't sufficient seating. The musical in 2010 (Les Miserablés) which ran from 1–3 December was a huge success, selling out on all three nights. Around 80 of the school's pupils took part in the production of the show. The next school musical ran from 24-26 November 2014 and also sold out on all three nights. The musical was Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
In Years 8, 9 and 10 the pupils study the following subjects in line with the Northern Ireland curriculum: English, Mathematics, Science, Technology and Design, Languages (two languages from French, Spanish or Irish), History, Geography, Home Economics, ICT, Physical Education, Art and Design, Music, Religious Education, Personal and Social Education, Citizenship and Employability, Careers Awareness, Computer Studies and Drama.
