We love Lochwood Academy and are so glad we found this place after moving to Sanford. Our daughter has blossomed under Ms. Shana and we went from enrolling her in one class to two plus summer camp musical. All a wonderful experience and she’s really coming into her own with confidence and ability.

My son takes great pleasure in being a student at Lockwood Academy for the Performing Arts. His instructor, Shana demonstrates remarkable patience and plays a crucial role in fostering confidence among her students. She provides substantial support to help my son gain valuable experience in the field of drama. Additionally, Mindy is exceptional; she ensures that we are consistently updated and informed.
