What distinguishes the Lake Wales Charter Schools system from most public schools is the tremendous support and commitment of our local community. Our parents, business partners and concerned citizens have donated countless volunteer hours and more than $3 million to make our schools the best they can be. Working together, we truly are a “Great Town Creating Great Schools.”

I am so thankful to have such an amazing place in which to entrust my children’s education.” – Angel Bowen
