Immersed in the learning experience
Academics
Academics at The Leelanau School go beyond hands-on. Through our experiential learning program students are immersed in the learning experience and gain a much deeper understanding of content.
Experiential learning allows students the ability to analyze what they learn and apply their knowledge to new experiences.
