The education was amazing, and the teachers really care about each student's individual progress. There are so many opportunities to explore what you're interested in! Our electives are in-depth and curiosity-nourishing, and are taught by very qualified teachers who are clearly passionate about what they do. There are a million clubs (and ways to create your own club), plenty of sports, and an overall abundance of ways to make lifelong friends. Independent and self-driven students can really thrive here. The only thing I was not a fan of was the college counseling experience around financial aid specifically. I had to figure out how to manage the FAFSA and CSS profiles on my own, and I wish I had had more help picking out affordable schools.
Lakeside School is amazing in many different ways- from academics to opportunities at exploring one’s interests and passions to the many life-long friendships that are developed, it is definitely unparalleled compared to many other schools in the PNW. It may not be for everyone as it takes a certain character and personality to thrive - one has to be resilient and maintain an open mind to truly enjoy and embrace all that Lakeside has to offer. I recommend it highly without any reservations at all!
I'm currently finishing my fifth year at Lakeside, and I cannot emphasize enough how much I love it at this school. Driven, motivated, and kind students thrive in our tight-knit community. I feel so supported and cared for by the faculty and staff, and I've been given plenty of opportunities to contribute my voice towards the betterment of the school. I truly feel at home in this school, and I'm so grateful to the administration for all the hard work they put into cultivating a compassionate community. Yes, homework abounds, and yes, the students are quite competitive, but if you stay motivated and work hard you'll do just fine. As a student-athlete who will also be leading two clubs next year, I definitely have a jam-packed schedule, but as long as you can manage your time well, it's all doable! The skills I've learned and will continue to learn at Lakeside, alongside the fantastic academics, will serve me well in university and beyond.
