Great Students Flourish in Great Environments
Our mission, to challenge and enable students to reach their individual potential in mind, body and spirit, comes with a commitment to uphold our community values and to ensure that the academic and social needs of our students are paramount.

Outdoor Environment
Our beautiful 315-acre natural campus is equipped with a lake, fields, forests and small village-like houses, encouraging our students to spend time outdoors every day. A defining feature of the LCS experience is that outdoor education (OE) is embedded into the academic program. All Grade 9 students enjoy their geography and physical education courses integrated into a single OE course. Similarly integrated, OE courses are offered in Grades 10 and 11. The positive benefits of learning in an outdoor setting are significant, including increased personal development, emotional well-being, and better academic performance. -
Leadership, Character, Values
We believe experience is the best teacher. Our school-wide leadership program (Grades 9 through 12) provides opportunities for our students to come together, to discover, reflect and find meaning in their programming. It encourages personal growth and builds confidence and a commitment to becoming active and engaged citizens—ethical leaders—in all aspects of life; preparing our graduates to pursue their passions in any field while making a positive difference. -
THRIVE
Lakefield's THRIVE well-being initiative infuses all aspects of school life and is based on three pillars: Physical Well-being, Positive Psychology and developing Lifelong Habits. Intended to promote optimal mental health, students learn habits and practices that will help them to flourish now and for a lifetime. Equally important, these habits help to improve the ability to focus, remember, and process information, contributing to better academic performance.
Students and Teachers Love LCS and It Shows!
Our students and staff are the heart and soul of the great things that happen at LCS—in the class, on the field, in their houses. or on the stage. Our teachers love to learn, as much as our students do! They enjoy exploring innovative and engaging ways to teach and for our students to learn experientially.
