I have been at LCS since 6th grade. I've had a great experience throughout my years. My teachers are very caring, they are constantly there for you. If I need extra help on any material that we have covered in class that I don't quite understand they are always there to help in the kindest way. The campus is extremely nice, it is always very clean and luxurious similar to a college. The students are cliquey in a way, there are definitely groups of students, the athletes at one lunch table, the musical or artsy kids at another, etc. Although, administration has done a wonderful job of planning out bonding trips for each grade, and through that kids are able to come together and embrace each other. One thing I would like to see change is how quick the internet is, as it can be very slow sometimes and frustrating to have to go to the front office and have them fix it. As well as the no phone policy, it is not very realistic to not be able to have your phone in real life on a daily basis.

I attended Lakeland Christian School from the fall of 2016 to the spring of 2020. They were extremely helpful in initiating me into the school's curriculum, even on very short notice. I learned a lot during my time there thanks to the incredible instructors they had teaching us. My college readiness and preparedness is all thanks to them.

My child attended Preschool at Lakeland Christian. He had a very good experience and met good friends. Several of the children in his preschool class lived in a school zone of an Alpha School and we all decided to attend that public school for kindergarten. We were families brought up through that p...

LCS is an incredible school - I have two children there and would never send them anywhere else! The small class sizes, quality of the facilities (check out the brand new high school opening this year!) and high-quality, long-tenured teachers make it well worth the cost of tuition. Amazing summer ca...
