At The Leelanau School, we offer day and boarding students in grades 9-12 an educational experience where integrated learning support, individualized attention, small classes, and a commitment to whole-person wellness are at the center of what we do.
Students discover and develop their strengths as both students and citizens with the guidance of engaged faculty committed to cultivating a school where students know and embrace themselves as learners – no matter how they learn.
"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 on 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, 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." Kristen Adams | Current Parent

Something fishy was going on in Mr. Blondia's Environmental Science class today! Leelanau students cooked up both farm-raised and fresh-caught fish to compare the taste differences. Not only did they enjoy a tasty treat, but they also learned about the environmental impacts of each method and had loads to share about the consequences our food choices have on our pla#abetterwaytolearnl#handsonlearningr#environmentalsciencei#sustainabilityility ...

Imagine practicing your Spanish around a campfire while roasting chestnuts. Or using the telescope under the night sky to learn your constellations for your astronomy class. At Leelanau there is no bell to begin and end the day, so learning opportunities can happen all day - and all night - long!

"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."

Imagine running down to the lake to catch the sunset with your friends. Or wading out in the water and soaking in the last rays as you wrap up a school day. With a campus right on Lake Michigan, sunsets and swimming are habit for Leelanau students. The healthy habits fostered on campus are key to helping teens maintain mental wellness and engage in learning.
