Evening Academic Support Coach (Contract position)

Organizational Overview

Founded in 1879, Lakefield College School (LCS) is a leader among Canada’s independent boarding and day schools and prides itself on its reputation for providing a strong, caring community, a well-rounded program,

and a transformational student experience. Employment at LCS is more than a "job." Because we are predominantly a boarding school, much is required of both faculty and staff. In return, the school strives to provide competitive salaries, and opportunities for growth.

All members of the community are encouraged to participate fully in the life of the school and to use and enjoy the beautiful grounds and facilities. At LCS, we believe in the dignity and worth of all individuals. With roughly 430 students joining us from over 40 countries, we believe young people learn and mature best when they are encouraged to embrace their individuality within a richly diverse and supportive community.

We believe that our community is strengthened by this diversity of perspectives.
