About Lake Nokomis Community School Keewaydin and Wenonah

Located in the quiet, residential Nokomis neighborhood, and walking distance from world-class lakes and parks, Lake Nokomis – Wenonah serves students in grades K-1 and Lake Nokomis – Keewaydin serves grades 2-5. The two campuses are only one mile apart. Empowering every student to learn and grow every day, Wenonah and Keewaydin offer a broad elementary academic program that brings out the best in all students. Wenonah students represent diverse cultures and share experiences that underscore the meaning and value of community and the importance of life long learning.

We at LNCS celebrate our neighborhood school culture and like to be known as
