A BETTER WAY TO LEARN
Leelanau’s rich, supportive environment is a community where teachers love to teach and the focus is on how to learn, rather than what to learn. We are a haven for intelligent and creative students: the bright, the talented, the inquisitive who may also feel unchallenged, restless, and anxious.
Experiential Learning
Academics
Academics at The Leelanau School go beyond hands on. We engage all your senses in learning to include kinesthetic, visual, and verbal learning. Through our methods, students are immersed in the learning experience. When you go out to collect data from the Crystal River for Biology class, you will not only be asked to note what the instrumental readings are, but also what you observe through sight, sound and smell.
Music, Visual Arts & Theater
At The Leelanau School creativity is encouraged and students are welcome to explore each arts discipline. Parents are often amazed that their “non-singing” child has a beautiful voice or that their camera shy child feels perfectly comfortable on the other side of the lens!
You don’t have to come with a talent, we will help you discover and develop your talents.
Health, Wellness, & Nutrition
The Leelanau School feels that students need to develop healthy lifestyles for their lifetimes. Our overall wellness program is designed around this premise by providing activities and guidance.

I am ready to give!
The waters and lands stewarded by The Leelanau School are located on the ancestral and traditional lands of the Anishinaabek - the Three Fires Confederacy of the Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Potawatomi peoples.
We acknowledge the work to be done by ours and future community stewards to protect, honor, and preserve these lands. #awareness #Stewardship #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #landsandwaters #theleelanauschool ... See MoreSee Less

I wish these classes were offered in an Adult summer camp variety!
I'd love to take these classes and I've been out of high school for a while....
I vote for Filmmaking on a $0 Budget, but I might be biased 😂. Many sound fascinating so I'm with Sheila Ann on a summer enrichment camp!
The Leelanau School is a beautiful and purposeful place to work. Please consider joining our dynamic Health Service team in teaching, serving and supporting our students with compassion and care. Click below to learn more.
