To anyone considering Lakeside Charter Academy of NC for their child!
Our daughter started Kindergarten there last year and is in 1st grade now. I have NOTHING but amazing things to say about this school.
Dr. Montague is the most devoted, encouraging, and capable leaders I've ever seen. He is constantly all over campus, doing the must-be-dones and even the dirty work ( I've watched him taking garbage out to the dumpster in his suit ). Most administrators would delegate tasks like this to someone else, but Dr. Montague is a team-player, and his attitude is reflected in the teachers and kids as they take pride in caring for their school. He has his staff closely knit, and they all go out of their way to ensure each kid is loved, encouraged and KNOWN.
My daughter is greeted every single morning with a good morning, and her name. When I pick her up, she is wished a great rest of her day, and a "see you tomorrow!" Her teacher is in constant communication with us, always updating us on our daughter's progress, and letting us know about each and every little thing they are learning that week. We have a Facebook group specifically for our class, which is amazing for communication with other parents, announcements, and fostering community.
The school feels like a family. They have the bigger kids paired up with the youngest ones for various projects for community and camaraderie. They encourage parent involvement on field trips, campus beautification projects, classroom events, etc. They put together special events for the kiddos to spend with the parents, such as "Muffins with Mom" and "Donuts with Dad," which the kids get so excited about.
They are so caring and truly know each student individually... our daughter was sick one day, and they called me at home to check in on her and see how she was feeling, because they noticed she wasn't there that morning
I could go on and on and on. This is a fantastic, unique, closely-knit school. Best decision we have made by far. We can't wait for our 4 and 3 year old to follow our oldest in attending!
