Lakeside School's mission highlights our desire to sustain a community of "individuals representing diverse cultures and experiences."  Therefore the admissions committee seeks to build classes of intellectually capable students who bring the most diverse and interesting perspectives possible to the school community.

In admissions, scholastic ability and personal character are the primary considerations in selecting candidates for Lakeside. In making decisions, we consider both the school's ability to serve a student's educational needs and the student's ability to take advantage of the school's resources and to make a positive contribution to the life of the school.

We recognize that choosing a school can be one of the most important decisions a parent and child can make. Schools, like families, can have a profound impact on a child's development and we welcome you to attend an open house, meet our students, talk to our faculty, and learn more about the Lakeside experience.
