THE ENROLLMENT JOURNEY
Choosing the right school for your child is about so much more than where they will spend the next few years of their education. The right school can give each student the tools to help them succeed long after graduation and the relationships to last them a lifetime.
The best way to get a feel for our school culture is by coming in for a tour. You’ll have the opportunity to see our beautiful 180-acre picturesque campus and learn about all our academic and extracurricular opportunities.
We’ll sit down to hear about your family and see where your student is at academically. Your student will even be given the opportunity to shadow and experience what a day at school feels like!
The last step is simple. Once we both decide we are a good fit for each other we will get your student enrolled and ready for their first day!
Meet our Director of Admissions
Welcome to Lakewood Park Christian School! My name is Marcy Winterholter and I am the Director of Admissions for Lakewood Park Christian School (LPCS). My husband and I have two children, a daughter who is a graduate of LPCS and our son who is currently a Junior. Lakewood Park Christian School is accredited through ACSI and the state of Indiana and has approximately 600 students from Preschool through 12th grade.
I would love the opportunity to meet you and your family to tell you more about our school and give you a personalized tour of our campus.
