This week our Advancement Team hosted two recruiting events here on campus. We gathered the 8th graders one day and 5th graders the next. Our goal was to encourage excitement about entering high school and middle school. Often in the enrollment world we see students at these ages begin to gain interest in other school […]
**This blog, written by Mrs. Jennifer Canady, was originally published in the Fall of 2012. Sometimes when people ask me how the year is going, I respond, “The days are long, but the years are short.” I love teaching middle school science and directing the RISE Institute at Lakeland Christian School, where I work with […]

I sat in a comfortable cushioned seat as the professor scribbled away on the large chalkboard in the auditorium that my organic chemistry class was in. One board would get filled up and then using a pully system, that board would be raised and another lowered. I had never seen such a large chalkboard wall […]
Every year, the K4 kids participate in the K4 Christmas Program. As teachers, it is our privilege to teach our students about the Christmas story through song!!! This program is definitely a highlight of the year; however, the youngest kids on campus are just plain funny!!! This year the K4 team decided to share […]
In Public Speaking class we are working on “special occasion speeches.” Students are writing their eulogies as if they lived to ninety and are reflecting on their lives.
