  Lakeview Academy is adding a second section of PreK 3 for the ’23-’24 school year.  This expansion is in response to demand for the popular preschool program for three and four-year-old students, said John Simpson, head of school.

  The daily academic schedule is enhanced with classes in Spanish, art, music, library, and physical education. Critical thinking, social awareness, listening, and speaking skills are nurtured through play, exploration, and discussion.  Class size is limited to 14 students with a teacher and teacher aid in each class.
