Lakecrest Testimonials
"My child entered Lakecrest two years ago. She was not reaching her
full potential in her former school and it was clear that she needed
smaller class size and enhanced academic challenges. In
Lakecrest she has been provided both. Her work ethic is now
second to none and her capacity for independent thought and work is
phenomenal. Lakecrest's staff and administration are focused on
all aspects of a child's development - academic, social,
physical, etc. My child has grown in many ways since attending
Lakecrest and I look forward to her continued success in the
coming years within its warm and welcoming environment."

"We decided to find out more about Lakecrest after years of being
frustrated with the public school system. The day we arrived to
visit the school (over 4 years ago), a young child held the door for
us and said "Welcome to Lakecrest". We were sold from that
moment and haven't looked back. Lakecrest is like school USED to
be…when children respected their teachers and classmates and
academic achievement was the priority.
"Our
older children went through the public school system, however, our
youngest has spent the last 4 years at Lakecrest. We wish we had
discovered it 10 years sooner."

"Our
sons attended Lakecrest during Junior High. We moved from a large
public school system in Texas to Lakecrest. We found a warm and
nurturing atmosphere led by one of the most caring Head Masters that
we have ever met. The quality of education was outstanding and our
children really enjoyed the experience. We have since moved to
private schools in Western Canada and Venezuela and our sons are
excelling as a result of the strong base they built at Lakecrest."

"As we are now living
the expat life in the Middle East, we will retain our fond memories
of Newfoundland and Lakecrest for life. Last December our
daughter spent her Christmas break in NL and attended lakecrest with
her friends.
We
will always treasure the close relationships the students had with
their teachers and especially the close guidance our son Zack had
with Mr. Pellertin to help keep him on the straight and narrow path."

"My
time at lakecrest, although brief, was one of my most rewarding
teaching experiences. I worked along side some of the most outstanding teachers I have
ever seen and got to know very wonderful children. I appreciated the camaderie
within the staff, the sense of community, and getting to know the children
and their families who make Lakecrest such an excellent school. I am
so glad for the time I had at Lakecrest!"

"We have
found the school life at Lakecrest to be warm , personal and
enthusiastic. There is a sense of extended family for the children
and the parents. From the morning greeting to the after school
program, one gets a clear sense of a creative teaching-learning
community with a demonstrated value for civility. "

"My
child attended Lakecrest from Kindergarten to Grade 9. The benefits of the small class
size has paid off in all aspects of her education. She enjoyed the
wide variety of extra curricular activities. The extra care of the
Lakecrest staff to all students made us feel like family."

"The school encourages each child to reach his/her potential and to
develop their confidence. ( through not just the curriculum, but
through the active involvement of all teachers in the school)
The
school helps the children learn to respect others- their peers, as
well as those older and younger.
Rules
for behaviour are provided to the children- and they are enforced.
This helps the children understand the boundaries for types of
behaviour and the consequences of not following the rules."
