La Lumiere School provides a rigorous college preparatory curriculum within a private day/boarding school environment. Our faculty have an extraordinary commitment to the education of the whole student and they cultivate a positive, encouraging environment which reinforces individual responsibility for learning.

Implicit in each course are skills which promote good study habits, critical thinking and problem solving. Students also develop the ability to understand the relevance of new ideas and integrate these new ideas into their previous understanding. The academic challenges provide our students with the opportunity for personal growth.

Each student at La Lumiere meets weekly in a small group with an academic advisor. The academic advisor is a faculty member who is responsible for monitoring the academic progress of the student. There are opportunities for daily peer and teacher tutorials so students who need assistance may receive extra instruction with the course material.

SAT/ACT test preparation courses are offered during the summer, and during the school year in the late afternoon or early evening hours. A complete English as a Second Language (ESL) program is available for international students.

The La Lumiere faculty believe in the importance of nurturing and challenging each individual student’s ability to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. We invite you to join us in the pursuit of excellence in scholarship, character formation, and faith.
