Get to Know Us

You want the very best for your child. And that is our commitment to you!

That is why Lakeside Academy distinguishes itself by creating a safe, caring and nurturing environment where children are happy and continually preparing for a bright future.

Our unique approach to learning blends the two leading philosophies of teaching children. One of those philosophies promotes a child-initiated approach, in which children are free to explore their individual interests with teacher support. The other places a greater emphasis on teacher direction, where an established curriculum leads children along a consistent path of learning.

Through this integrated approach, we combine the best of both philosophies. We let the particular interests of each child serve as the launching point towards healthy social, emotional, physical and academic development, while teachers guide them to self-assurance and prepare them for lifelong academic and social success.

Our secure campus at Lakeside Academy consists of our 7,ooo square foot school with a very spacious playground in a natural setting. Our playground features commercial grade equipment, which is developmentally appropriate for the age groups served. The main part of the playground is fully covered.
