Lakefield College School, Private boarding high school in Selwyn, Canada
Lakefield College School is a private high school for grades 9 through 12 situated on extensive waterfront grounds. The campus includes classrooms, science laboratories, and various facilities spread across the property.
The school was founded in 1879 as a boys school with just 15 students in Grove House on a much smaller plot of land. It later expanded into the larger, coeducational institution it is today.
The school sits on Michi Saagiig territory recognized through Treaty 20, and incorporates First Nations perspectives into its teaching and campus life. This presence shapes how students and visitors experience and understand the land around them.
The campus sits along a waterfront, making it possible to access water-based activities and outdoor learning throughout the year. Being a boarding school, the grounds remain active during most periods, so visiting is best done by arrangement.
The campus borders Lake Katchewanooka, allowing students to engage in environmental studies and water sports right on the grounds. This waterside setting becomes an integral part of the daily learning experience.
