Transforming lives by empowering students with learning differences to achieve their full potential

Lake Michigan Academy (LMA) is a premier non-public, private school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dedicated to empowering students in elementary through high school who have learning disabilities, like dyslexia, and/or ADHD.

Lake Michigan Academy strives to transform the lives of children with learning differences. We empower students to focus and build their strengths, not their weaknesses.

Our Learners

We don’t see these as “disorders.”

These are your SUPERPOWERS.

They are complex processing differences that pose a hurdle in the physical and cognitive learning process.

They are what make YOU special and unique in understanding the world around us.

Testimonials

 

“We were blown away by the positive impact the LMA Summer School had on our son! I had nearly given up the search for a summer program that would provide that boost my son needed. He struggled in school and we were afraid that without a structured program he would slide back over the summer. This school seemed to be just what we were looking for. It took only one week for my normally shy son to feel comfortable. He was waving hello and goodbye to the other students and more importantly he really liked school. And he was learning a lot! My husband and I were so happy with this program that we made the decision to move him to LMA full time. Whether your child normally attends LMA or any other school; this is a program worth looking at!”

Lake Michigan Academy gave our son so much more than a great education. They provided an environment where he felt safe and comfortable. The staff took pains to relieve his anxiety and to teach him social skills. LMA made him a happier child, and we will always be grateful.
