Whether your child is just starting school or preparing for college and career readiness, Lakeside offers academic excellence with Biblical integration every step of the way.
K–12 Continuity: A Rare Advantage
One of the biggest advantages of enrolling now is the opportunity for your child to benefit from a consistent K–12 private school education in a Christian environment. Our families love that their students don’t have to switch schools and adapt to a new culture every few years.
This continuity helps students:
- Form deeper friendships and mentorships
- Receive long-term spiritual guidance
- Avoid disruptions in learning due to school changes
From their first day in kindergarten to their final day as a graduating senior, Lakeside students thrive in a unified learning community. In fact, Lakeside even gives out the “Lion for Life” award to graduating seniors who have been with us since kindergarten.
Limited Spots, Growing Demand
The word is out: more families are choosing Christian and private school education in Floorida for their families. Enrollment at Lakeside continues to grow, and to maintain our small class sizes and personalized attention, we limit the number of new students each year.
For the upcoming fall 2025 school year:
- We are expanding to two K5 classes to meet demand, but spots are already filling fast
- Middle school and high school enrollment is projected to fill early
- Families applying in late summer may be waitlisted, especially in popular grades
Summer: The Ideal Time to Enroll
While some may wait until late July to finalize school plans, private schools in Clearwater Fl often have limited availability by then. Enrolling now ensures:
- Your family has time to attend a summer campus tour and back to school events
- You have full access to admissions support and financial aid consultations
- A smooth start to the year without last-minute stress
Active Student Life and Summer Sports
Even in the summer months, our school community stays active. Students in middle and high school have opportunities to build friendships and stay active through volleyball and football summer workouts and practices for middle school and varsity athletes.
A Christian Education That’s Within Reach
Affording private school tuition may be more possible than you think. Lakeside Christian School proudly partners with Step Up for Students and the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship to make high-quality Christian education accessible to more families.
Our admissions staff is happy to walk you through your options and help you apply for scholarships and financial aid.
