From Lakes International Language Academy

Lakes International Language Academy combines the acclaimed inquiry-based International Baccalaureate curriculum framework with proven Spanish and Mandarin immersion programs for K-5 students, and optional immersion continuation or introductory Spanish, Mandarin, or French for grades 6-12. The Kinder Prep Preschool program for 3-5-year-olds introduces Chinese and Spanish to our youngest learners.

Our staff is committed to the “whole child” education approach, supporting students’ cognitive, creative, physical, and social development—essential to healthy, productive, and purposeful lives in the 21st-century.

We work to promote a caring, respectful, and positive learning environment that embraces three action statements: Think For Myself; Think About Others; and, Think Beyond Today. As a public charter school, LILA charges no tuition for K-12 and offers small classes, highly engaged faculty, and a mission to prepare students to become global citizens.
