Situated on a wooded 150 acre campus, 30 miles from Chicago, Lake Forest Academy (LFA) was established in 1857 as the boys’ preparatory department of Lind University (later renamed Lake Forest University). The girls’ preparatory department was added in 1869. The schools merged in 1974 and LFA has been co-educational ever since. Lake Forest strives to embody in its practices and to cultivate in its students excellence of character, scholarship, citizenship, and responsibility.
