Academy Connections

Goddard Academy/Lakeside Academy would like your help! The intent of Academy Connections is for each student at ACA/LAK to have an adult mentor available to them. We feel that if a student has a positive relationship with at least one adult in their lives, the student’s chances of being successful grow tremendously. We currently have a mentorship within our schools. This program would add another layer to that mentorship and help our students be successful individuals while they are in school and once they leave our doors.
