There's no advance registration—just come as you are!

This page has everything you need to know about the event, including directions, parking, the schedule, and special programs. We encourage you to check it out ahead of time to make the most of your visit. We can’t wait to welcome you!

All-School Open House Event Schedule

One of the main elements of the Open House is a self-guided tour, allowing you to explore our facilities and connect with faculty and staff from departments that interest you most. Upon arrival, you'll receive a campus map highlighting the locations of our academic departments and information booths (listed below). We’ll also have Student Panels and a Financial Aid Information Session in designated areas, so you can plan a schedule that best fits your interests.

Traveling to Lakeside

 

 

 

We encourage families to ride the Link Light Rail to the newly opened Shoreline South/148th Station which is a 13 minute walk from Lakeside's Upper School campus and an 18 minute walk from Lakeside's Middle School campus. Show proof of your public transit ride—whether it's a ticket, ORCA card tap, or a photo of your trip—to an admissions team member at the open house and receive Lakeside swag! Lakeside's admissions team will be located in the WCC at the Upper School Open House, and in the crossroads at the Middle School Open House.
