From the Head of School:

Welcome to our website! We hope the information we share in these pages will give you a sense of our school community’s vibrant spirit and strong values.

Opportunities abound for students at Academy at the Lakes. Whether it’s in speaking at Lower Division assembly when it’s your class’ turn to lead, baking a birthday cake with the high school Seniors when you’re in Junior Kindergarten, making a difference for others through your Middle Division participation with the ElderNet program, or taking that AP exam in Upper Division, Academy students all have countless opportunities to develop their own particular talents, interests, and voices.

Academy traditions such as house activities and the Day of Manners mesh with forward-looking programs in science, Chinese, community service, and others to create a distinctive and life-changing set of school experiences for every student. Arching over each opportunity and each experience is the canopy of relationships with caring and inspiring teachers, all of whom believe in our mission to “celebrate the love of learning and the joy in the journey.”

We hope the words and images in this website will spark your curiosity about our school. Please come for a visit and experience it for yourself. We’re confident that a visit will convince you that the spirit of our school is contagious! We are truly growing good people at Academy at the Lakes.
