Lake Forest Academy welcomed a total of 452 students on the first day of the 2024-25 school year on Monday as the school opened its doors with the Opening of School Meeting followed by LFA’s traditional All-School Handshake.
The 452 students are an all-time high for enrollment at LFA as 134 new students joined 318 returning students. The student body traveled to the Lake Forest campus from 19 different states and 40 countries and territories. In addition to the students from across the nation and around the world, day students from 47 different local communities are enrolled this year at LFA.
The entire LFA community met in the Formal Gardens with Interim Head of School Tom Johnson starting the All-School Handshake with a flip of the coin to decide which direction to start. He was joined by All-School President Enos Zaah ’25 to get the line started around the formal gardens and pagoda and every member of the school community personally wished each other a great school year.
Prior to the start of classes a week of preseason brought the campus to life once again as fall sport athletes reported to campus and retreats were held for the senior and freshman classes. The seniors traveled to Lake Geneva, Wis. for two days while the freshmen spent a day on campus learning about LFA followed by a day trip to Wisconsin and Boundless Adventures. In addition to fall sports practices, a theater workshop was conducted along with various community service opportunities for students.
