Lakehill Preparatory School

Established in 1971, Lakehill Preparatory School is an independent college preparatory school for students in kindergarten through grade 12. Offering a well-balanced program of academics, athletics, fine arts, and community service in a rigorous and nurturing learning environment, Lakehill is a special place where dedicated faculty help students realize their intellectual, physical, and creative potential, while recognizing their responsibilities as members of the community.

Lakehill is staffed by passionate adults who are devoted to teaching and who model for students a life-long love of learning. Our extremely talented faculty look for the individual potential of each child and encourage engagement in a broad range of academic, artistic, athletic, and extracurricular activities.

Lakehill is a community where you can be who you are and do what you love. The Lakehill experience fosters connections of all kinds – to classmates and teachers and friends, to new ideas, and to our unique traditions and history. Lakehill is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS).

Lakehill demonstrates its commitment to students by offering the individual attention needed to excel in an academically challenging, college-preparatory curriculum. Through accelerated core academics, course electives, and extracurricular activities, Lakehill provides an environment for academic excellence.

Lakehill students recognize the importance of involvement in their school, community, and the world around them. Theater, music, publications, athletics, and a variety of student clubs and organizations promote teamwork and help students develop valuable leadership skills. Students also benefit from a peer mentoring program, forming lasting bonds between younger and older students. Community service is fundamental to the spirit of the school. Students are encouraged to embrace a spirit of volunteerism that will foster a life-long passion for service.

Lakehill students all go on to pursue education at a higher level, and are accepted into Ivy League schools, top research universities, liberal arts colleges, renowned art institutions, and international universities. Collectively, the Class of 2017 earned over $5,500,000 in academic scholarships, an average of $175,000 per student. What is most important about our students’ matriculation however, is the process of pairing the student with the right school. Through an extremely successful college counseling program, we work together with every family, discussing each student’s dreams, abilities, needs, and interests when choosing a school.
