Our History

 

 
     
 
 
 

 

 

The Academy was founded in 2001 by amalgamating two community high schools in Lachine-Bishop Whelan High School and Lachine High School. Our population consists of students primarily from Lachine, Dorval, LaSalle, Verdun, Montreal-West and Kahnawake. We have a culturally, ethnically and socio-economically diverse population. A school uniform has been adopted by our community since 2001. This helps to bring uniformity to a very diverse student community.

Lakeside Academy offers three academic programs: International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program, French Immersion and English.

Our school community also takes pride in a wide range of non-academic, extracurricular programs such as sports, art, music, drama and dance. Community service involvement plays a large role in developing our students into well-rounded citizens.
