Lakeside Academy (Closed 2015)

The purpose of Lakeside Academy is to provide an age appropriate, academic and developmental program which will benefit the children, parents and communities of the High Desert.
We believe that a quality Christian program will help parents with their responsibility of training a child in every area of life.
At Lakeside Academy, we maintain an environment which encourages each child to discover their world and develop a thirst for knowledge.
Through the use of Bible and everyday life applications, children are encouraged to develop positive character traits.
At Lakeside Academy, preschool begins at age 2 and continues until kindergarten.
During these formative years, studies prove that there are many windows of opportunity for children to learn, grow, and absorb information that later may be very difficult to instill.
