Priority Areas

How Lakeside will be focusing our energy and efforts in the coming years

In the coming years we will focus on three areas. Our work in these areas will evolve in response to our community’s needs and ambitions.

Educational Excellence

A Lakeside education encompasses every aspect of a student’s experience, both within and beyond the walls of the classroom. Our educators design innovative, experiential, and immersive educational experiences that center students’ agency and creativity. These experiences nurture students’ desire and will to explore and discover their passions and purpose, whether those are discipline-specific or broadly interdisciplinary.

Community Experience, Engagement, and Impact

When we focus on the health and well-being of students, educators, and families and recognize the value of each person’s life experiences, we lay the foundation for transformative lifelong learning and relationships. Guided by Lakeside’s values, we establish and enhance meaningful relationships with alums, local and global partners, and other mission-aligned organizations. In doing so, we expand the meaning of the Lakeside community and powerfully impact ourselves and others.

    

Infrastructure, Operations, and Capacity

With resources and efforts that are consistently mission-aligned, the school sustains its excellence and has an enduring platform within which to make meaningful change. Lakeside’s values are embedded in every area of our policies, practices, and operations so that all aspects of the school’s operations fulfill their stated priorities.
