Lakeside Academy, a K-6 Charter School, opened its doors in 1998 and grew rapidly, spurred by spreading news of the quality education and individual care that our students were receiving.

The Academy serves the Western Palm Beach County cities of Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay, where the major employer is the sugar cane industry.

 Beyond a core curriculum of reading, writing, and math, students at Lakeside Academy are taught to be responsible, to develop strong learning skills and positive habits, and to strive for quality in their school work. Lakeside stresses effective verbal and written communication skills because they form the basis for  success in school, and later in the workplace. In short, our students are taught to become responsible, informed and productive young citizens with a zest for learning.

At the Academy, we strongly believe that parents are an integral part of the teaching team: without their support, the child’s learning process will suffer and eventually break down. To assure their involvement, parents must sign and abide by the Parent Contract which outlines their obligation to their child and to the school.
