The Leelanau School & You

We don’t use a “one-size-fits-all” approach. At Leelanau, learning is a two-way street. We don’t just expect our students to learn, we hold ourselves accountable to learn who they are too.

Freedom To Be Yourself

While many schools will tell you who fits best at their school in terms of IQ, test scores, and personality types, we value each of our Leelanau students as unique individuals.

Our academic and residential life faculty encourage students to flourish in their own individual ways and understand that everyone has strengths, as well as, places for growth.
