Mission

Our mission outlines our purpose — why we exist.

The mission of Lakeside School is to develop in intellectually capable young people the creative minds, healthy bodies, and ethical spirits needed to contribute wisdom, compassion, and leadership to a global society.

We provide a rigorous and dynamic academic program through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning.

We are committed to sustaining a school in which individuals representing diverse cultures and experiences instruct one another in the meaning and value of community and in the joy and importance of lifelong learning.

Vision

Our vision responds to what our community needs now in order to realize our mission. 

To cultivate a school community that inspires and empowers all our students and educators with the will to seek joy, to be hopeful, and to transform the world with care.

Commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging

Our commitment makes visible the deliberate nature of our work and expresses the necessity of every member of our community sharing this commitment. 

At Lakeside, we build belonging and community by striving to ensure that every person is seen, heard, and valued. Our practices, structures, and approaches are designed to model equity, inclusion, and belonging in our classrooms, on our fields, and in our community engagement with all our students, families, faculty, staff, and alums. Our collective shared embrace of an equity and inclusion mindset is critical to fostering a transformative educational environment that prepares students for the future.
