It opened as a homeschool program tailored to meet the unique needs of families seeking a personalized approach to education. It has since transformed into DREAM Academy, a comprehensive educational offering combining online and in-person options and unparalleled flexibility to achieve success for&nbsp;Kindergarten through 8th grade students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DREAM Academy offers two distinct programs to cater to different student needs, attracting families from all over the county. The homeschool program provides flexibility and individualized attention, while the 5-day in-person program ensures a small classroom environment that thrives on shared learning experiences with students across grade levels, enriching the leadership and collaboration experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets DREAM Academy apart is its unique focus on the acronym DREAM: Design, Research, Engineering, Agriculture, and Mechanics. These pillars form the foundation of the school&#8217;s engaging projects, tailored to match the interests and needs of each student. By integrating agricultural education into the elementary level, DREAM Academy sets the stage for students to seamlessly transition to actively participate in Lakeside\u2019s nationally renowned Future Farmers of America program at El Capitan High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DREAM Academy believes education should be a catalyst for dreams, a springboard to unlock every student&#8217;s potential. By embracing Project Based Learning and a forward-thinking approach, DREAM Academy is shaping tomorrow&#8217;s leaders, innovators, and problem solvers. Through its transformative programs, this remarkable institution is building a brighter future for East County, one student, and one dream at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ideal-learning-environment-33412e80-8d6c-491c-b573-8f69f8926997\">Learning Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DREAM Academy is a K-8 school comprised of two separate school models to fit your needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Model 1:<\/strong> Full day in-person five day per week project based learning program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Model 2:<\/strong> Homeschool model where students do their core course work at home through an online platform with optional two day per week in-person project based learning enrichment opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interest Lists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2025 &#8211; 2026<\/strong><br>If you are interested in enrolling at DREAM Academy for this school year, 2025 \u2013 2026 , please use the button here for our interest list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-a25ff1c5-a8f0-469f-a6ea-607ab4afaf6a\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/MLvipJXct4y7rujGA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>2025 &#8211; 2026 Interest List<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2026 &#8211; 2027<\/strong><br>If you are interested in enrolling at DREAM Academy for the upcoming, 2026 \u2013 2027 school year, please use the button here for more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-2ba7891e-fc5c-4b3a-a133-37919ab2ce68\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc_W7qXEtHT8mgyHymF7DyBt4ymVXg6WUE6yurbyyJQETfgXA\/viewform?usp=publish-editor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>2026 &#8211; 2027 Interest List<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-a25ff1c5-a8f0-469f-a6ea-607ab4afaf6a{font-size:18px;color:#fff !important;background-color:#d3b64b !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-a25ff1c5-a8f0-469f-a6ea-607ab4afaf6a:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-a25ff1c5-a8f0-469f-a6ea-607ab4afaf6a > i {display: none !important;}.advgbbtn-2ba7891e-fc5c-4b3a-a133-37919ab2ce68{font-size:18px;color:#fff !important;background-color:#d3b64b !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-2ba7891e-fc5c-4b3a-a133-37919ab2ce68:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-2ba7891e-fc5c-4b3a-a133-37919ab2ce68 > i {display: none !important;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakeside Union School District\u2019s DREAM Academy Located in the heart of East County, DREAM Academy is a beacon of innovative education, offering a transformative experience for students in San Diego County.
