Tuition covers most—but not all—of the true cost of delivering an exceptional LCS education.
The Lakefield Fund closes this annual gap, providing essential, flexible resources that directly support students and teachers every day.
Your yearly gift strengthens the programs, people, and experiences that make The Grove so distinctive—from immersive learning and outdoor education to tuition assistance, wellbeing supports, and faculty development.
Because of the Lakefield Fund, every student experiences more than tuition alone can provide.
Your annual gift strengthens these key areas of school life.
