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.

"Leelanau has helped me come out of my shell and figure out who I really am. It has been great to find myself and leave home so I could truly grow. Going to school here has also taught me how to be independent and how to listen. I have figured out how to live without my parents helping me do everything. The Leelanau School is such an amazing place. It will always have such a very special place in my heart because it means home to me." - Emma Perez, Class of 2024

"...A plunge, a gasp, the world stands still,
The heart's quick dance, a thrill to fill.
The warmth of life against the cold,
A story in their courage told...
And when they rise, the air so sweet,
A euphoria, no retreat.
They carry with them nature's power,
A May Day Dip, the soul's own hour."
- adapted from Art by Ian

Miss holding hands with my friends and jumping in the lake! So glad that the tradition continues!
