Direct your gift

Students choose La Lumiere for an unmatched education and experience that wouldn’t be possible without your support. The following are student-centered ways you can direct your gift within the Laker Fund to meet your personal philanthropic goals.

From residential life activities to our “uniquely La Lumiere” traditions, such as Heads Cup and the Taste of La Lumiere, a gift toward Student Life enhances the Laker experience.

Support for The Arts here ensures our students have the proper resources to think creatively and present their work in formal settings, such as the Christmas Concert or one of our drama performances, and informal settings such as Fine Arts Fridays.

Sports play an integral role in the formation of character for La Lumiere students. Currently there are 15 varsity sports across three seasons. A gift to athletics sets up our student athletes for success in representing La Lumiere with class both on and off the field.

Our faculty guides students as they hone academic skills and habits of mind, and we have high expectations for how all students will grow and learn. Meaningful learning takes place when the dynamic between teacher and students is close-knit, and personal connections foster a process which engages students’ experiences and interests to draw forth their best efforts.

Unrestricted gifts enable La Lumiere to address our most critical needs.

Earnest exploration of faith is an integral part of a La Lumiere education. We are committed to serving those in need, whether that be through traditional volunteer efforts or innovative service-learning programs to connect with and learn from others.

We are committed to meeting 100% of every family’s demonstrated financial need, and we rely on the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends of the School to do so.

I learned how to learn at La Lumiere, and that is a skill I will use forever.
