Lake Worth Christian School

In 1959, the founders of Lake Worth Christian believed it was important to teach children that every area of life belongs to the Lord. We are thankful for a rich history of people who take ownership in Lake Worth Christian School.

The strong academic programs at Lake Worth Christian School—in conjunction with state championship athletic programs and award-winning fine arts—seek to fulfill the mission of equipping students with knowledge and wisdom for a life of service in God’s kingdom.

Lake Worth Christian School strives to “Grow Christian Leaders” by integrating faith into all aspects of the educational experience from Pre-K to grade 12. Upon graduation each year, our secondary school students have had the opportunity to continue their studies at a university or college of their choice. Graduates have pursued various distinguished professional careers and many continue to serve as volunteers in their communities.

Lake Worth Christian School is accredited by Christian Schools of Florida, the National Council for Private School Accreditation, and the Middle States Commission for Elementary and Secondary Schools.
