At Lake Eola Charter School, we are more than just a school—we are a family. Many of our staff members, including myself, are also parents of LECS students. We believe in this school wholeheartedly because we see firsthand the difference it makes in our children’s lives. We know that you and your family will love being a part of this special community as well.
Over the past few years, LECS has undergone an incredible transformation. We are proud to now offer a variety of sports programs, a thriving music program, and over 30 different clubs and activities for our students. We also provide an affordable after-care program designed to meet the needs of our families.
What truly sets us apart is our approach to education. Our teachers have the freedom to create a curriculum specifically designed for our students, rather than following a one-size-fits-all program written by someone who doesn’t know them. We embrace modern educational practices such as gradeless classrooms, cross-grade collaboration, peer mentoring, and tutoring—while still maintaining the classical school community that makes us so special.
At our core, we are a family-centered learning environment that puts children first. We empower student excitement and engagement, guided by dynamic teachers who nurture creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity. We invite you to come see for yourself why so many families choose Lake Eola Charter School—we can’t wait to welcome you!
