On Full Display!Major congratulations to Alice H. ’26, whose artwork is currently featured in the Dalí Museum’s annual juried student exhibition! This year’s theme — “Obsession, Disintegration, and Reinvention” — challenged Florida middle and high school students to channel the surrealist spirit of Salvador Dalí.

Show Me the World! At Academy at the Lakes, learning goes far beyond the classroom. From the Galápagos Islands to the Peruvian Amazon, and across the plains of Tanzania, South Africa, and Botswana—our students and families explore, discover, and grow through unforgettable international travel experiences. Most recently, a group of our Upper Division students journeyed to Tanzania to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti National Park. From vibrant tribal dances and breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater to thrilling close encounters with lions, elephants, zebras, and cheetahs—this trip was truly the adventure of a lifetime. These are the moments that shape global citizens. These are the stories they'll never forget. #youmatterhere #worldtraveler #travelabroad #travelafrica #GreatMigration #africa #serengeti #safari #coolschool #funschool #topschool #bestschool ...
