At The Leelanau School, we offer day and boarding students in grades 9-12 an educational experience where integrated learning support, individualized attention, small classes, and a commitment to whole-person wellness are at the center of what we do.
Students discover and develop their strengths as both students and citizens with the guidance of engaged faculty committed to cultivating a school where students know and embrace themselves as learners – no matter how they learn.
Happy Walk to School Day! This month there is a rustle of leaves and the crunch of acorns under our feet as we cross campus—with a squirrel or two or twelve not far behind. #walktoschool #Boardschoollife #abetterwaytolearn #theleelanauschool ... See MoreSee Less

Thankfully, The Leelanau School aspires toward a community and culture of understanding and acceptance. We are always striving and learning. We are on this voyage together. ... See MoreSee Less

At The Leelanau School, Parent-Teacher Conferences are as personal, experiential, and joyful as the school day. We owe it to all students to build a close partnership between home and campus. Learning is about so much more than grades. It is about a culture of supportive relationships. #abetterwaytolearn ... See MoreSee Less

This experience will follow your kid for a lifetime because the instructors really care and become deeply invested in your child’s life. I’m glad you are experiencing joy for both what your child has experienced and just how much more there is to come. I say congratulations to both you and your child Kim!
Every time I’m on campus, it reinforces that we are making the right decision to send our son to Leelanau. The staff knows and sees my kid for the individual that he is and are helping him explore new things, engage with curiosity, and develop leadership skills. Thank you Leelanau team!
As we begin our fall break, we’re slowing down. We’re connecting with families at conferences and always—ALWAYS—finding the magic in the world and within each other.
A gigantic thank you to our wonderful Kindel House parent, @theepicfales , for her beautiful photographs from last night’s Northern Lights show.

Leelanau's seventh core value is awareness of our own needs and sensitivity toward others and the world around us. In a busy, noisy world, we are challenged to take time to notice what our bodies and minds need to grow, rest, and cope. Healthy food, fresh air and exercise, quiet periods, and learning skills are built into the Leelanau School daily schedule to help us create healthy habits. Caring for ourselves makes us better at helping our friends, families, and communities!

Can’t beat this school
Leelanau's admission process is designed to determine a good fit for our applicants. We often work with educational consultants who guide families to schools that will best serve their child's educational and emotional growth. This week, we were honored to welcome Heidi Molbak (New Orleans) and Jeanette Spires (Chicago) to campus to meet and observe The Leelanau School in action. We shared lots of information and plenty of fresh air with them! #agoodfit #whoweare #whatwedo #whywedoit #abetterwaytolearn #theleelanauschool #IECA ... See MoreSee Less
