view map request catalog

Lakefield College School provides an enriching co-educational day and boarding experience for 375 students from over 43 countries in Grades 9 through 12. At LCS, we believe young people learn and mature best when they are encouraged to embrace their individuality within a richly diverse and supportive community. With one of the largest waterfront campuses among Canadian boarding schools, our programs leverage the benefits of being outside every day, including a deepened connection with, and responsibility to, nature, increased personal well-being and better academic performance. We know that a personalized, balanced academic and co-curricular program, filled with challenging and authentic learning opportunities, helps students to discover their strengths and purpose—to become their best selves. Caring teachers, advisors, and coaches challenge and enable students to reach their individual potential, preparing them with the skills and characteristics necessary to lead fulfilling lives—caring individuals ready to contribute to their community in meaningful ways.

Summary: The immediate academic objective of students at Lakefield College School is university entrance. One hundred percent of last year's graduating class was accepted at university, and 80 percent was accepted by the university of their choice. University expectations of student achievement continue to rise. This is a product both of the increasing competition for university places and of the increasing breadth and complexity of knowledge which universities must impart to their students.

In order to prepare students well for the challenges of university and a rapidly changing world, Lakefield's faculty engage students in academic activities which will enable them to develop disciplined habits of study, critical thinking skills, and a talent for co-operative problem-solving. In addition, students are given significant opportunities to use modern technology as a tool to assist them in their learning. In order to ensure intellectual breadth, students at Lakefield are required to study a core curriculum which reflects the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education.

Summary: It’s amazing what you can achieve when you’re happy. The Lakefield College School boarding experience is truly like no other. From the moment you set foot on our campus, you’ll get it!

For a majority of LCS students, the school is their home-away-from-home. Our program runs seven days a week, balancing academics, co-curricular arts and athletics, with recreation and social events. Structure is provided through the academic day, regular evening study hours, Saturday morning classes, and established boarding house routines ; but students have ample opportunity to participate in a variety of activities in a relaxed and fun-filled environment.

Boarding life at LCS is built on trust. We encourage a strong sense of values in all our citizens, both students and staff, including sensitivity to others’ feelings, personal integrity and dignity. These values are supported through daily chapel, classroom conduct, and community relationships (for more read our School Life Guide).

  • Wireless Internet
  • Our 315-acre campus on Lake Katchewanooka boasts an outdoor skating rink; three playing fields; a track and four tennis courts; a high-performance fitness centre and dance/yoga studio; a state-of-the-art gymnasium with 35’ indoor climbing wall; outdoor high/low ropes course; Nordic ski trails; sailboats; windsurfers; kayaks and canoes - and 3800 feet of waterfront.

Dress Code: Uniform

Student Life

Summary: Our 252 boarding students live in 12 residences, with an average of 21 students per residence. We believe that fewer students in a residence translates into a stronger sense of community; our boarding students develop strong bonds because of this family-like structure. Each residence has 2 staff (most with families) who live full-time in separate quarters within the residence, ensuring supervision and consistency in approach and communication.
