Equipping students for life

In Lakeshore we believe that learning needs to extend beyond the traditional skills that can be taught while sitting quietly at a desk. We need to help prepare our students to be active members of their communities and to participate in the function of a thriving democratic society. With rapid changes in technology and communication, we are focused on equipping our youth with the character traits that will allow them to adapt and flourish in an ever-changing landscape. The hard skills that will be needed in the future may shift, but we are confident that investing in the character of our youth is a solid investment in tomorrow. Resilience, creativity, empathy, wisdom and old fashion grit will be needed regardless of what the future holds.

Beyond the character traits needed for a good life, Lakeshore also works to ensure that our students are exposed a wide array of career options while in school and are prepared to enter post-secondary and/or the workforce.  This includes ensuring that we are able to offer a range of high school courses as well as practical work experience options in the students' communities.
