“Leelanau has radically altered the entire course of my child’s life. From a perception that school is filled with drudgery and dread, it has restored their love of learning and exploration in Mark. Without nourishing that spark in childhood and teenage years, a kid can literally fall off a cliff never to return. We were scared of that happening to our kiddo. Leelanau has renewed that and more – put Mark on a positive life trajectory. This is something that we will never be more grateful for. I cannot wait to continue to see where Mark goes from here.”

“Our daughter is a 4-year senior at The Leelanau school. We looked into the school when she was in 7th grade. At that time, what we learned about The Leelanau School really seemed like the kind of education that would be best for her personality. Words cannot describe how fortunate we feel about her experience at the school. Leelanau has brought out the happy, engaging, and confident girl that our daughter deserves to be. We are blown away by the dedicated, brilliant, and loving staff.”

“If you are looking for a special place that will be like a second home to your child, with loving staff, incredible teachers, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is the place. I genuinely get emotional when I talk about how much we love this place and what an incredible difference this school has made in our child’s self-esteem, education, and life in general. This school was a HARD decision for us as a really close-knit family to decide on for many reasons: price, distance, and being away from your child. But, someone recommended it, and after visiting and touring the campus, our son fell in love with it. He has loved all 4 years there, and I will tell anyone who listens that without this school my son would not be and have the things he has today (confidence, music skills, comfort with adults, and an education like none other). My advice to anyone on the fence is just GO VISIT. Very simple, go and visit and spend a day on campus.”
