Our tours are designed to be informative and interactive, giving you a firsthand look at what makes Lakeside unique.

Enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year is NOW OPEN. Parents/Guardians must fill out and submit a new student application for review by LCS Administration. Note: there is a $25 application submission fee for each new student. 

Once new families have toured and submitted an application, the Admissions Team will request student records. Our admissions team and administrators will look at a potential student's grades, testing results, behavior and any past IEP/accomodation plans.

New students will then be welcomed on campus with a scheduled Shadow Day where they will be paired with a current student and participate in a normal Lakeside school day. All shadow students are subject to entrance examinations for correct placement by grade or course level. All students admitted must show and maintain the ability to learn at mainstream pace.

Note: Students with an IEP or 504 will be assessed for potential admission. LCS does not have programs or Professional Staff for academic needs outside of the mainstream classroom. Students incapable of self-managing their behavior will not be a good fit in our structured classrooms. LCS does not accept students with a psychiatric diagnosis or behavioral-emotional disabilities.

The Admissions Team will contact the family to inform them of the final admissions decision for their child(ren).

If a new student is approved for admission, the office and enrollment staff will work with the family to finalize all enrollment packet paperwork, forms, fees, and scholarship applications. Once a family's admissions packet is finalized, they will be notified of their acceptance with a congratulatory welcome email.

All parents must comply fully with the state of Florida (HRS) immunization policy. All parents must comply fully with federal and state requirements, e.g. immunizations records, birth certificate copy, etc, as well as provide Lakeside with student’s records and transcripts.

It is the policy of Lakeside Christian School not to discriminate on the basis of an applicant’s race, colour, sex, national or ethnic origin.
