Our goal at Lake Mary Prep is to inspire excellence through a balanced approach of academic rigor and service learning that encourages students to take ownership of their education.

By promoting a culture of caring, students will begin to take steps that promote international mindedness and embark on a journey to become an active member of an ever-changing, multi-cultural society.

Small Class Size

The reason I love LMP is that the smaller classes help me to foster closer connections with the people at LMP, and the teachers are very supportive of what I do here at LMP.

A True Belonging

Growing up, I didn't have many friends and I often faced bullying at my previous schools. When I chose to attend LMP in sixth grade, everything changed.

My name is Gayla Rice and I've been a nurse for 25 years. Over the last 4-5 years, I've been subbing in the LMP Clinic off and on, but I'm proud to now be here full time. I am a mother of 5 and have 5 grandchildren.

Moving to LMP

I love LMP for its community, and available resources. Since I've moved from Colorado 2 years ago, I haven't integrated so well into an open-arms community such LMP's.
