LAKE ST LOUIS, Mo. — A K-12 private school in St. Charles County has converted an office building into its temporary school campus, in a $500,000 project.
Lafayette Academy, which changed its name this school year from Classical Academy de Lafayette, was founded in 2016 by longtime educator Katy McKinney. It now has 80 students in 13 grades.
Ultimately, the school intends to buy land and build a new school building, but until that happens, school officials are leasing a converted 16,800-square-foot office building in Lake Saint Louis, at 20 Hawk Ridge Circle, to house the school, according to a news release. The lease term is three years, McKinney said.
The school relocated this year from a site in Wentzville, at 1102 East Pitman Ave., to the larger Lake Saint Louis space, a building that was previously used by St. Louis-based medical transportation company MTM Inc., which operates out of a nearby office building.
