At LCS, our community and approach to educating teenagers are like no other. Students participate in transformative educational experiences designed to engage young leaders to care for and contribute to their communities and the earth. They embrace their individuality within a community made rich by its diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. Our waterfront campus—one of the largest among Canadian boarding schools—provides an optimal learning environment, inside and outdoors, enabling our students to thrive.
The first thing that people typically know about Lakefield is that the King of Spain studied here. And, truth be known, he did. That said, the reality of the school isn't perhaps of the sort that we might feel would attract a royal gaze. Lakefield is set in a rural setting, and while academics are strong, there is also a focus on physical activity and outdoor education as a vehicle for the development of interpersonal and leadership skills. As a result, students are more likely to be found on the ropes course or at the hockey rink than in quiet contemplation at tea time. Academics are rigorous, though lifestyle is, too, often creating a heightened level of engagement. Alumni, including royalty, conspicuously retain a very personal connection to the ongoing life of the school.
