Lakeside Preparatory Academy is proud of its modern teaching and recreational facilities. By providing our staff and students with the right learning environment, we allow our beautiful surroundings, heritage buildings, and high technology infrastructure to catalyze an excitement for learning in our students. Your child will be able to enjoy facilities such as a full-sized gym on campus, dormitories that are 200 feet from the shore of Shawnigan Lake, a campus-wide wireless internet service, and a cafeteria crewed by professional, courteous staff.

At Lakeside Preparatory, we believe in providing our students with a healthy balance of educational and physical activities.
