Safety First: People, Place and Program

All of our work and every decision we make is focused on two essential priorities: 1) ensuring that we uphold the highest standard of community health and wellbeing; and 2) fulfilling the promise of our mission as a school uniquely committed to challenging and enabling students to reach their individual potential in mind, body and spirit through authentic learning, being outdoors every day and a powerful and embracing sense of community.

LCS has made an ongoing commitment to prioritize the health and wellbeing of our school community. One hundred percent of our on-campus faculty and staff are fully vaccinated and all incoming, new and eligible LCS Summer Academy students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with a Health Canada approved vaccination prior to their arrival to campus (unless they have filed a valid medical exemption request). Our comprehensive Safety First: People, Place and Program Lakefield College School's Learning Recovery & Renewal Plan 2021/22, outlining all of our health and safety protocols designed to mitigate the transmission of the virus while maximizing the impact of in-person learning, was endorsed by public health and approved by the Ministry of Ontario.

We are committed and prepared to see all of our summer students on our amazing campus for daily in-person learning, health guidelines permitting.
