It is a gift to teach at Lake Forest Country Day School. As a sixth-grade English teacher, I'm inspired daily by the people around me. Teachers at LFCDS are highly-creative and collaborative and I consistently learn from my colleagues. I have the autonomy to follow my students' interests year to year and feel incredibly supported by the administration as I incorporate new ideas into my teaching.

We know LFCDS from friends. After several field visits to the school by us and our child, we decided to transfer to another LFCDS from another private secondary school a year ago. The experience at LFCDS has made us feel the humanity of this school and the cultivation of children in all aspects. We are a very correct decision for us to transfer our child to this school.

We had a wonderful four years at LFCDS. Culture, attention to individual students, academic rigor and lifelong friendships were only some of the positives we experienced. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

We have two children at the school and we see their progress in academia, leadership and social skills. Additionally, the leadership is excellent and inspiring to the faculty and parents.

They both are always excited to go to school - sometimes early so they can get to play in the innovation lab. The teachers are talented and...

Exceptional school. The teachers really take the time to know and understand each child. Students are challenged and inspired. The commitment to the whole child through academics, arts, and athletics is very visible. Welcoming community and inspiring teachers. Our kids love school!
