Lake Forest Country Day School voted Best Preschool,
Private K-8 School in North Shore Choice Awards
Lake Forest Country
Day School is delighted
to be named 22nd Century
Media’s Best Private K-8
Grade School on the North
Shore for the second consecutive
year.
“We are deeply honored
by this recognition,” said
Head of School Joy Hurd.
“This award is a direct reflection
of the partnership
between our families and
the faculty in delivering
the school’s mission of inspired
teaching, academic
rigor, attention to individual
needs, and a commitment
to responsible citizenship.”
Located on more than 30
acres of property, LFCDS
offers programming for
students ages 2 through
eighth grade, and provides
a rich and diverse educational
experience grounded
in rigorous academics,
arts, athletics, and socialemotional
learning.
Drawing students from
more than 35 local communities,
the school offers
access to students
across all grade levels to
engaging learning spaces
that include expansive
outdoor classrooms, a
2,800-square-foot innovation
center, a recently
renovated gymnasium,
and a newly reimagined
performing arts center
which opened this past
fall in time for the LFCDS
Special Speaker Series,
an event that welcomes
to campus two nationally
renowned child development
experts each year.
“What LFCDS does
exceptionally well is to
know, love, and challenge
every child in our care and
to prepare our students
for demanding secondary
school experiences and a
lifetime of learning,” Hurd
said. “Our students know
how to communicate effectively,
they write clearly
and cogently, and they
speak before an audience
with poise and confidence.
“We also teach humancentered
methodologies
like Design Thinking,
which relies upon asking
questions and developing
empathy for others to arrive
at the best solutions
to problems that people
face.”
The school’s classrooms,
technology offerings, laboratories,
art spaces, and
playing fields all serve as
vital staging grounds for
a rich program, designed
to prepare LFCDS graduates
to be compassionate,
independent thinkers with
a strong sense of personal
integrity and intellectual
curiosity. LFCDS faculty
and staff live the school’s
mission with unparalleled
dedication. Whether for
an open house, a special
speaker series lecture, or
an individual campus tour,
visitors to the school experience
the palpable warmth
and caring that is a hallmark
of the LFCDS community.
In short, Lake Forest
Country Day School
fosters an environment in
which students feel empowered
to dream, try
new things, take academic
risks, and achieve at their
highest level.
“Our ultimate goal at
LFCDS is to graduate students
who are able to think
critically, self-advocate,
persevere when faced with
a challenge, create and
communicate in innovative
ways, and interpret the
world around them,” Hurd
said. “The school endeavors
to help each student
craft a durable foundation
that will provide them with
greater opportunities to
pursue their passions and
make a difference in the
world.”
Lake Forest Country Day
School is located at 145 S.
Green Bay Road in Lake Forest.
