Arverne Campus Opening Soon
Lamad Academy is expanding. Rooted in the vision and legacy of Rev. Al Cockfield, shaped by the faith, values, and commitment to education instilled by his mother and father Bishop and Lady Cockfield, Lamad’s story comes full circle in Arverne.
This new campus will open as a tuition-free public charter elementary school, beginning with Kindergarten through Grade 1, and growing alongside our scholars and families.
