At Lakeside Christian Academy, the student is the story. We exist to prepare every child to become a fully devoted disciple of Jesus Christ — someone who walks in faith, leads with purpose, and lives for God’s glory. Inspired by the lakeside encounter in John 21, our mission is to form students who are academically excellent, spiritually grounded, and ready to impact the world. From the firelit shore to the modern classroom, we are shaping disciples who will go out and feed His sheep — heart, mind, and soul.
We believe that a truly excellent education is rooted in discipleship, built on a biblical worldview, and guided by Christlike educators who model faith in every lesson. Our passion is to help students discover their calling, develop their character, and prepare for a lifetime of Kingdom purpose.
We are not simply launching a school — we’re preparing the next generation of future leaders.

Lakeside Christian Academy exists to glorify God by partnering with Christian families to disciple students as faithful followers of Jesus Christ, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to excel and fulfill God’s unique purpose for their lives.
Lakeside Christian Academy seeks to become the premier independent Christian school in the Midlands, building a thriving, Christ-centered community that equips leaders to transform culture for Christ.
Starting a new school is more than a building project — it’s a faith journey. At Lakeside Christian Academy, we are stepping out in obedience to God’s call to raise up a generation of young men and women who are not only academically prepared but spiritually anchored.
Our passion is to disciple students through the rhythms of everyday life — walking with them as Jesus did with His disciples. This is why our model draws deeply from John 21 and the Shema in Deuteronomy 6. We are committed to cultivating students who love the Lord with all their heart, mind, and soul — and who live with wisdom, purpose, and boldness in a world that needs truth and grace.
We invite you to join us in shaping a school culture that is relational, rigorous, and rooted in Christ. The road ahead is exciting, and we are honored to walk it with you.
With joy and purpose,
Brian Simmons
