FOUNDATION PHASE
Grades 1–3 Structured, joyful learning that strengthens literacy, numeracy, and life skills through hands-on activities and guided practice—building confident, curious learners ready for the next phase.
FOUNDATION PHASE
At Lakewood International Academy, the Foundation Phase team takes a holistic approach to education. Learners are engaged through stimulating academics as well as fun and enriching activities, ensuring their school days are both enjoyable and educational. This blended approach creates a balance between academic learning and physical stimulation, promoting a well-rounded experience.
The environment is dynamic, multi-cultural, and supportive, with small class sizes where educators are able to give each child the individual attention they need. At Lakewood International Academy, your child will never feel lost in a large school environment and will be nurtured to ensure they don’t fall between the cracks.
Our goal is to equip students with the critical skills they need for lifelong learning and future success, making Lakewood International Academy the school of choice for parents who value a comprehensive and nurturing educational experience.
