LAKE PARK BAPTIST SCHOOL, INC.
LAKE PARK, FLORIDA

OUR PHILOSOPHY Lake Park Baptist School stands firm in the belief that it is the responsibility of the school to promote the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development of each student. In order to achieve these goals, the school continuously seeks to provide students a well-developed enriched curriculum of skills and knowledge in the fundamental educational process for Preschool-3 through Eighth Grade. The purpose of Lake Park Baptist School is to give students the necessary dimension of the realization of God in all of life. God created the universe, and it is He who holds it together. Therefore, our teaching of Bible, math, science, social studies and other subjects is based upon the truth that God Himself established all physical, natural, and spiritual laws. Lake Park Baptist School was established in September of 1968 as an outreach ministry of the First Baptist Church of Lake Park. It expanded from a pre-school to include all elementary grade levels within a few years. Accreditation by the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (FACCS) was granted during the fall of the 1977-1978 school year, following the beginning of Mrs. Carol Hyatt’s tenure as principal. Throughout Mrs. Hyatt’s tenure, the school has continued to grow. In April of 1986, ground was broken for a new office and educational addition on the west side of the campus. This facility was made possible through the generous gift by a friend of the school and church in order to establish a middle school program at Lake Park Baptist School.
