The staff of Lakeside School believes that all children can and will learn in a positive, nurturing environment. We understand that teaching and learning require a state of readiness and a sense of timing. Students need to be exposed to a range of teaching and learning styles so that they come to recognize and seek their own best learning situations. Our greatest challenge is to help our students learn how to achieve their highest academic potential, to be confident in their own abilities, and to use those abilities responsibly.

Some History:

The first East Grand Rapids library facility, housed in a former private residence, opened in 1959 when citizens recognized the need for a public library. In 1960 the library moved to Romona Shopping Center, and in 1969 it moved to Lakeside Drive on Reeds Lake. In May 2005, the East Grand Rapids library moved to a temporary location so the 10,500 square foot library on Lakeside Drive could be renovated and expanded to 27,700 square feet. The renovation was completed in August 2006 with a Grand Opening on August 12.
