March is Women’s History Month, and what better way to celebrate than by reading the works of trailblazing female authors. Female children’s authors carved unique paths to publishing their books in male-dominated fields.

Nostalgia might make us a little biased, but kids’ educational programming from the 80s and 90s was incredible. The influx of positive messaging from shows like Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Blues Clues and Arthur have carried over into modern shows.

One of Lake Forrest Prep’s biggest achievements is that we offer our students a challenging curriculum. However, for some parents, the words “challenging curriculum” doesn’t always bring a good connotation — especially if they themselves struggled in school. Our LFP teachers don’t teach advanced lessons to see our students suffer! Difficult classes often lead to a variety of benefits. Here…
