The Lake Forrest Preparatory School was established in 1991 to provide the choice of a private school community to a broader population; to create a community school where each child is safe, and very well educated.
Here each parent is invited to partner in the education of children and each child receives the chance to achieve his or her greatest potential.
Each child and every family enjoys individual attention and respect, the very cornerstones on which successful learning is built.
