Lakefield College School - Review #1

One unique aspect of Lakefield is the community. Everyone who has spent time at Lakefield has grown. Lakefield is truly something that you have never experienced before. On my first day at LCS, I was shocked at how different it was compared to anywhere else I have ever been to before. Everyone was so warm and welcoming at all times and it truly feels like Lakefield is a second home.

I feel as I came out of Lakefield as a completely different person and have truly changed my perspective on life and my future.

Bring something from home that gives you joy, whether it be your favorite food or a blanket. It'll help you from missing home.

I really loved how involved and supportive teachers and staff were.

A message for incoming students. Make sure you take all that LCS gives you with open arms. The time you have at Lakefield goes by so fast.

The academics always were challenging for me. Teachers were always making sure the students know what to do and how to get the best mark. The best thing about the academics at LCS was the grove times we had at lunch to catch up on work.

The athletics program was very good as we had frequent practice. Based on what you chose to participative it would differ the length of practices and time spent doing a certain activity.

For the Arts, there was a yearly play, musical, and dance recital. There was also Dance, Art, Music and Drama class for all different levels.

A volunteer option that I really enjoyed was the option of going on a service trip during march break for 2 weeks. Some of the places that were offered were, Morrocco, South Africa, Galapagos.

Since there were 12 boarding houses on campus, it really allowed for houses to be close since the amount of people was kept small. The boarding houses really helped me build my a good group of people who I think of as family.

At LCS there is a dining hall that offers meals 3 times a day, as well as snacks throughout the day and we also can buy other snacks at the school store. The food was very good and there were so many options for picky eaters like me.

We really had a lot of freedom to explore the surrounding small town and the bigger town just a 20-minute drive away on weekends.

The social life at LCS was really welcomed by everyone. There was never any pressure to be someone you're not or to feel like you aren't welcome by people. I found that everyone was very open and always wanting to get to know everyone. The school dances were also super fun.
