Serving Pre-K - 5th Grade
Developing well-rounded students through dynamic and engaging education.
-
Consistency
The last two years introduced great disruption in children’s lives. A strength of LPS has been our agility. This attribute allowed us to deliver a strong, in-person education under the circumstances.
-
Personalization
We support students that need the extra challenge and we give special attention to those that need a helping hand by leveraging some of the smallest class sizes in Madison County.
-
Family Involvement
Our students and your children receive the best service when we are on the same team. We pride ourselves on our high level of family engagement.
What We Are Up Against
The last two years created historical learning gaps among children. They will continue to impact education for years to come.
How long will it take traditional schools to adjust after missing an entire school year followed by an additional school year burdened with disruption?
How does that unpredictability affect my child?
What We Offer
Enjoy steadiness and predictability for the upcoming school year with a schedule you can depend on.
Your child will receive personal attention in classroom sizes that are just over half the normal size.
Children are given a dynamic and engaging learning experience that is innovative and fun.
We Are Parents Too.
All of our children deserve a safe, consistent and personalized education.
COVID has had minimal impact on our school as compared to traditional options. Our small size is our advantage in this environment.
Our educational services are personal to us too. Many of our staff members have children who also attend LPS.
We have recently completed our 10th year of offering private education to families in Madison County.

The Bottom Line
Among the many ways you’re trying to be a good parent or grandparent, we understand that making the best educational choice for your child or grandchild is among the most important.
The past two years have exhausted a lot of us as our energy and effort has been spread thin battling uncertainty and inconsistency. This makes us all feel concerned for the social, emotional, and academic development of our children. Our goal at LaFontaine Preparatory School has always been to be an organization that provides a steady and strong educational experience; especially during challenging times.
In order to do that, we strive to offer the best possible education for your child. We believe all children deserve a great education. We understand this, which is why we’ve worked so creatively over the last two years to deliver that to our students. It is in this same spirit that we will continue to guide our school into our future.
We invite you to learn more about our school so you can make the best choice for your child’s education. Check out our school syllabus or visit our gallery. Join our wait list and we will contact you as space is available so you can rest knowing that your child will be in great educational care for the upcoming school year.
