Overview
We believe that education involves the intentional formation of the entire person. And that’s a lofty endeavor. It starts with encountering every one of our students as individuals, each with a unique set of gifts and the same inherent worth. From that foundation, our small size and robust interpersonal culture enable us to forge unparalleled bonds—between classmates but also with faculty members—creating a learning environment where students can't help but invest wholeheartedly in their own experience.

Student Life
The character traits and abilities that make for a good life cannot be developed in an academic program alone. They come also from skills and habits instilled outside the classroom. That is why co-curricular activities are a crucial, required dimension of La Lumiere School. They enhance each student’s education, strengthen relationships with teachers, and deepen the community bond.
