At Lake Town Academy, we are committed to fostering a learning environment where each child is valued as an individual and encouraged to grow at their own pace. As a PreK-8th grade alternative school, we focus on hands-on, experience-driven learning that encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Rooted in faith-based beliefs, we seek to nurture not only the academic but also the spiritual, emotional, and social growth of every student.
Our educational approach is centered on the belief that learning is a process, not a race. We do not use traditional grading systems, but instead, we focus on creating positive learning opportunities that build each child’s confidence and instill a lifelong love of learning. By focusing on the process rather than the product, we allow students to engage in learning experiences that are both meaningful and transformative. This approach helps children take ownership of their learning and develop self-motivation, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment.
At Lake Town, we recognize that every student is unique, and we strive to create an environment where each child feels valued and supported. Our small class sizes and individualized attention ensure that every child’s strengths are celebrated, and their challenges are met with patience and understanding. Whether it’s through project-based learning, outdoor exploration, creative arts, community involvement, we aim to equip students with the tools they need to thrive academically and spiritually.
Our school community is built on principles of love, respect, and service, and we believe that when children feel known and valued, they are empowered to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to nurturing the minds and hearts of our students, helping them grow into confident, compassionate individuals who are equipped to make a positive impact in the world.
The mission of Lake Town Academy is to encourage the whole child to develop a love of learning rooted in the truth of God’s word and empowering students in their God given gifts.
