We are committed to access and equity. Through participation in the Florida Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES), Lake Geneva Primary School is able to offer FREE K–5 PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION for many eligible families. This commitment reflects our belief that high-quality education should be available to all children, regardless of financial circumstances.

Lake Geneva Primary School is built on the belief that children learn best when curiosity leads the way. Rooted in research-based instruction and inspired by the natural world, our program blends strong academics with hands-on, outdoor, and experiential learning – in a play-to-learn environment. 

Our classrooms extend beyond four walls. Students learn through movement, exploration, storytelling, discussion, and play—both indoors and in thoughtfully designed outdoor learning spaces. Small class sizes allow our educators to truly know each child, tailoring instruction to individual strengths and needs while fostering collaboration, confidence, and a love of learning. At Lake Geneva Primary School, academics are rigorous, joyful, and deeply connected to real-world experiences.

Lake Geneva Primary School is part of the broader Voyager Learning Adventures community, where learning is viewed as a journey—one filled with discovery, wonder, and possibility. We partner closely with families, creating a supportive and welcoming environment where children feel safe to ask questions, take risks, and grow into confident, capable learners.

Steve Hoffman taught middle school and high school science and social studies for several years before entering the private sector to focus on education and recreational programs. An owner of multiple preschools and afterschool programs over many years, a love of camp life brought him to Camp Geneva in Fruitland Park in the 2010’s, where, along with a dedicated and talented team, has developed the facilities to accommodate an ever-expanding roster of youth and family based programs.

April is the Program Director of Camp Geneva and has spent more than two decades working alongside children, families, and educators to create learning environments where students are known, supported, and inspired to grow.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and brings a unique blend of operational leadership, educational insight, and hands-on experience with learners from preschool through high school. Throughout her career, April has worked directly with students, supported families navigating academic challenges, and led the development of programs that strengthen early literacy, foundational math, and whole-child development.

April’s work is deeply shaped by her love of travel, the outdoors, and lifelong exploration. Whether hiking forest trails, listening to live music, or looking up at the night sky, she is continually reminded that curiosity is the doorway to learning. She believes some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond four walls—through play, movement, discovery, and connection to the natural world.

At Camp Geneva, April brings together her passion for education, thoughtful program design, and community-building to create experiences that feel both intentional and joyful. Her guiding belief is simple: when children feel curious, capable, and cared for, learning follows naturally.

In addition, my work as a college professor has allowed me to mentor and develop future educators, bridging practical classroom experience with educational theory.

As the Director of our Pre-K through 2nd grade program, I am passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning environments that foster curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. I look forward to building upon the strong foundation of our school by supporting teachers, partnering with families, and ensuring every child is empowered to thrive.

My name is Daina Strunk, and I have been in education for 30 years. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Oral Roberts University.

I have enjoyed being a part of children’s lives as they grow physically, emotionally, and academically. My goal as a teacher is to encourage children to learn at their own pace while enjoying the process of exploring and discovering the world around them.

One of my favorite quotes is: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” — Benjamin Franklin

I am excited to begin my journey as a STEM teacher. My professional background includes experience in audio engineering, programming, chemical and laboratory technology, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and safety functional leadership. I look forward to bringing these real-world experiences into the classroom to make science, technology, engineering, and mathematics meaningful, engaging, and accessible for every student. My goal is to inspire curiosity, encourage creative problem-solving, and help students build the confidence and critical thinking skills they need to become lifelong learners and future innovators.

Ultimately, I believe that technology education encompasses far more aspects of human experience than just computers. It should enhance critical-thinking skills, problem-solving, and prepare the next generation for the inevitable challenges that will test their perseverance. My primary focus is creating fascinating, practical, and student-centered lessons so students develop the skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.

In my free time I enjoy spending vacations with family, writing, designing music, getting into Anime, fishing, staying sharp on human health and history, and exercising.
