Lakes International Language Academy

Lakes International Language Academy (LILA) is a tuition-free K-12 public charter school, offering Spanish and Mandarin Chinese full immersion with the acclaimed International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for grades PreK-5.

Our Upper School, which is also based on an IB curriculum, allows students in grades 6-12 to continue immersion courses and/or learn a third language, choosing from Spanish, Mandarin, or French. Upper School students do not need to know a second language to enroll at LILA.

Since 2004, parents have chosen Lakes International Language Academy to help guide their children toward becoming responsible, caring, informed, curious, and engaged global citizens. LILA students gain the knowledge and good study habits that come from the rigorous International Baccalaureate program as they develop literacy and proficiency in the target language (Spanish or Chinese) and English.

Along the way, they learn to appreciate the world and its many cultures. They’re ready for greater challenges in secondary school and beyond.
