Venue
LAKESIDE COLEGIO
Lakeside is an international private school in Mexico City dedicated to educating and inspiring students in the pursuit of excellence.
A school is a child’s second home, children should feel that they are wanted, respected and loved at school. That is the reason why we offer a strong comprehensive bilingual academic program, which promotes meaningful learning experiences that help our students develop their potential in a caring and nurturing environment. We recognize that all children are unique each with their own talents, strengths and personality. We aim to present as many opportunities as we can so that all these diverse qualities are nurtured allowing our students to achieve their full potential.
We create a safe and stimulating environment in which students can be happy learners, working in partnership with teachers to discover and develop their intellectual, physical, social and creative potential. One of the important objectives is to create an environment to stimulate the curiosity and intellect of children, as well as to teach them how to interact and learn values that would allow them to live an honorable and happy life.
