The mission of South Whittier School District is to prepare every student for success in high school and beyond by focusing on the core academic subjects in an effective and integrated curriculum.

We believe:

All students can learn.

Students learn best when they are engaged in challenging and appropriate learning focused on the core academic subjects of language arts, mathematics, science and social studies integrated with physical education and the fine arts.

Quality teachers are the single greatest predictor of student success.

The diversity and uniqueness of each student should be respected.

Students learn best when families value education, and teach their children to accept increasing responsibility for their own learning.

Quality education improves the quality of life for students, their families, and the community now and in the future.



Welcome to Lake Marie Elementary, a K-6 school committed to the pursuit of student achievement and academic success through the "Three Rs" of our school community: Responsibility, Respect, and Relationships. Working toward our goal of academic proficiency and beyond for all students, the Lake Marie faculty strive to create a campus where responsibility for student learning is paramount and respect for school and community leads to lasting relationships and academic success. Additionally, as an Arts For All School, Lake Marie provides opportunities for students to discover and enhance their skills and talents in visual and performing arts by infusing fine arts instruction and experiences throughout the regular district-adopted curricula.
 
At Lake Marie, we welcome the partnership of the local community, including families of current and perspective students as well as local businesses and organizations, such as Biola University's School of Education, Michael Seril Fitness Studios, the Whole Child, Biola Counseling Center and our local McDonalds. By all means, stop by our beautiful campus for a visit. We think you will discover that Lake Marie is a rare gem among schools: a small fine arts-focused school with a caring community of highly trained teachers, staff, parents, and community all committed to working toward a common cause: success for all students.
 
Wishing you a prosperous, successful and exciting academic year,
Michael Long
Principal, Lake Marie Elementary
