LAKE FOREST ACADEMY’S GALA 2025

Experiential education took center stage at Lake Forest Academy’s annual Gala this spring. At LFA, learning is most impactful and lasting when students actively engage with the world around them. Through retreats, experiential learning-focused clubs, field trips, and global travel, students develop critical thinking, collaboration, and adaptability. Thanks to the generous support of the LFA community at Gala 2025, these transformative opportunities will continue to grow for all students. Led by co-chairs Julie Brandt and Timothy Lange, Sara and Brian Lewis, Daisy Wood Tolles, and Eliza Walters Johnson and Mark Johnson, the event featured camaraderie, dinner, student performances, and a lively paddle raise. lfanet.org/gala2025
