Curriculum Information for Incoming Freshman
Welcome to Lake Forest High School!! As you consider your course options for the upcoming school year, please take the time to view each video for a better understanding of the many courses and experiences we offer. We want you to have a well-balanced schedule. Consider courses that will challenge you academically and courses that will allow you to create, explore, and grow.
The videos were created to introduce you to our courses. Paired with our Student Course Guides, you will have a lot of information to review. All of us are here to support you. If you have questions or something is unclear, please do not hesitate to contact us.
You will also have an opportunity to learn more and ask questions when you attend The Scout Experience. While the videos focus on our course offerings, The Scout Experience is intended to broaden your perspective of all of the opportunities you will have at LFHS, both inside and outside of the classroom. We value student membership (belonging), participation (engagement), and learning (academic success). By attending The Scout Experience, you will get a better sense of the variety of ways our values are enacted every single day at LFHS.
We look forward to supporting you through the start of an important and exciting journey!!
