OUR CURRICULUM

Lakeside Charter Academy emphasizes a rigorous curriculum aligned with our pillar of scholarship. The school has adopted the Core Knowledge Curriculum in the core subjects of Science, Social Studies, Language Arts , Music and the Arts. The program provides a cohesive, comprehensive, content-rich curriculum that is implemented throughout the grade levels of K-9. The academics integrate Shurley English and cursive handwriting within CKLA.

LCA uses Math in Focus, a mathematical problem solving program that teaches skills and concepts that allows students to develop beliefs, interests, and confidence. It is a program that develops processes of reasoning, communication, and application while also allowing the student to develop self-regulation of learning.

LCA students develop leadership skills through a curriculum designed to develop confident and capable students. Leadership includes the concepts that everything is possible, we are connected, passion first, accountability, and gratitude.
