We offer a variety of ways for you to explore how Our Lady of the Lakes is set apart from the rest!
If you would like to visit us, you can schedule a tour of our campus or a shadow day where your child will "shadow" a current student and experience a day as a Laker!
We also host multiple admissions events including a winter Open House, Kindergarten Sneak-A-Peak, and Pre-Kindergarten Parent Information Night, etc. for future Laker Families to learn more about what we have to offer.
We can't wait to meet you!
Prospective parents and students are encouraged to tour our school and experience what sets Our Lady of the Lakes apart from the rest!

Shadow days are offered to prospective students entering Grades 1 - 11, October 1 through May 1. This opportunity allows your child to experience a typical day at Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School. Your child will be paired up with a current Laker student and go through their schedule. Prospective students will have the opportunity to meet our teachers, interact with other students, enjoy a complimentary lunch and some Laker swag!
Shadow visits are available select Tuesdays through the school year. Please contact the Admissions Office to schedule a day that works for all of us. We can't wait to see you!
