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. 

Leelanau School courses are as varied and interesting as our students, although the following courses are typically offered.
