Experiential Learning
Academics
Academics at The Leelanau School go beyond hands on. We engage all your senses in learning to include kinesthetic, visual, and verbal learning. Through our methods, students are immersed in the learning experience. When you go out to collect data from the Crystal River for Biology class, you will not only be asked to note what the instrumental readings are, but also what you observe through sight, sound and smell.

You donโt have to come with a talent, we will help you discover and develop your talents.
Health & Wellness
The Leelanau School feels that students need to develop healthy lifestyles for their lifetimes. Our overall wellness program is designed around this premise by providing activities and guidance.
You wonโt find fatty, fried foods in our cafeteria line.
We are opening the door for YOU tomorrow! Join us for our Spring Open House and see what Leelanau's living and learning programs are all about.

โMy work is loving the world.โ
We take these words by Mary Oliver seriously here at The Leelanau School. Our teachers give respect and gratitude daily while educating our students about the beauty here.
So, to give honor to Mother Earth, we celebrated Earth Day Friday by immersing ourselves into making Trashion Fashion, making our Disc Golf Course playable again, creating solar ovens, and making instruments out of trash (inspired by the @landfillharmonicmovie ). In the afternoon, we partnered with the @friendsofslbe to use our hands and help preserve this beautiful place we get to learn.

Education and Sharing day (today) recognizes that school means more than obtaining a diploma or degree to shape a certain career; it cultivates the spirit and develops the character through the collaborative efforts of mentors, educators, family members, classmates, scholarship programs, and community leaders. Today would be a great day to share with Leelanau by making a gift to the Leelanau Giving Fund at leelanau.org/giving. #share #JoyfulLearning #learningforlife #BeyondTheClassroom #theleelanauschool #abetterwaytolearn ...

"Lives of great alums remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time...Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." - adapted from A Psalm of Life | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
