BBA will be known as Lakeside Christian Academy in the Fall of 2026.

Lakeside Christian Academy is a growing Christian school located in the beautiful Ocala National Forest. There is so much to look forward to in the 26-27 school year. LCA will graduate its first seniors in 2027. Several of our seniors were with us in year 1 when we were "Building Bridges Academy" and had only 2 grades. Now with grades 6-12, we are launching FFA for Middle and High School, expanding tutoring options, and continuing to develop sports and fine arts. Scroll down for information about our academics, admissions, policies and school staff.

  • LCA has around 100 students with an average fewer than 18 students per classroom with Middle School having a higher ratio than High School.
  • A majority of our students show academic improvement towards college readiness year to year based on annual standardized testing.
  • We meet or exceed Florida standards and constantly strive to inspire a life-long love of learning.

FFA (Future Farmers of America) is a great opportunity for students to gain practical skills that will open doors for their future as they learn through hands-on projects and county and state-wide events.

  • LCA has been accredited with CGACS since 2023.
  • Teachers must have a college degree or 3 years substantial experience in their subject.
  • Many of our teachers hold state certifications.
  • LCA provides continuing education opportunities and a teacher mentoring/development program.
