Lakewood Elementary School is a California Distinguished School (awarded in 2010) that values academic excellence, enjoys support from a diverse community, and produces forward-thinking, emotionally resilient problem-solvers. A major focus of our school is to prepare future citizens-in real life AND online-who are capable of communicating effectively using today's technology. Our teachers explicitly teach and monitor students' academic, social, and technology learning to prepare them for their bright futures. We are proud to be a Common Sense Education Certified School for Digital Citizenship.
Located in north Sunnyvale, Lakewood School serves approximately 450 students in grades TK - 5. Our campus and school community provides a safe and caring learning environment where we offer a rigorous academic program and include many opportunities for enrichment throughout the school day such as PE, music, art, gardening, robotics, coding, public speaking and a variety of leadership opportunities. Lakewood teachers and staff believe in the power of relationships and our own continuous learning. As a community, we aim to empower and challenge each of our students to find and use their voices for positive impact.
