Lakeside Academy was founded in 2001 by amalgamating two community high schools in Lachine-Bishop Whelan High School and Lachine High School. We serve a very culturally, ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population. In 2010 the school moved from only having an IB Enriched program to embracing a whole school IB philosophy.
