What the Lakeside School Educators Said:

 

"Our group is back, and they had a wonderful time. Every aspect of their time in Stratford-upon-Avon was outstanding. I have reports from parents that the trip changed their students’ perspective on Shakespeare…even a story of a student who now reads Shakespeare every night before going to bed. So, a heart-felt thank you to you for giving us this opportunity."
Chris Hartley, Summer School Programs Director, July 2010

 

"I am forever thankful to you and your organization for connecting us with the Shakespeare Birth Trust. The events that are planned for the group and the execution on those plans for the week have been transformative for our students."
Chris Hartley, Summer School Programs Director, July 2011

 

"The Birthplace Trust was an extraordinarily gracious and thoughtful host for our stay in Stratford. Above all, as a result of the wonderful seminars the Trust provided and the fantastic plays we were privileged to attend, Shakespeare’s work became more vital and alive for each one of us, students and teachers alike. Each of our days in town was informative, pleasantly full and instructive, but never hurried – the pace was ideal. Perhaps most importantly, our seminars were something we looked forward to each day – instructive, thought-provoking, and engaging. It was a considerable effort for us to fly from Seattle to Stratford for our week there, but all the students and I agreed it was completely and thoroughly worth every mile of travel. We all had a wonderful and highly educational time."
Tom Doelger, English Teacher and Leader of student trip to Stratford in Summer 2010
