The Leelanau School

Since 1929, The Leelanau School has challenged high school students to reach beyond their acknowledged potential in every aspect of their lives. We offer a rigorous college preparatory curriculum using multi-sensory, experiential, and strength-based methodologies. Students gain awareness of their individual learning styles, build skills and strategies to maximize their learning potential, and grow into independent learners. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan and on the banks of the Crystal River, Leelanau is an intentionally small boarding school. We are able to offer students an individualized approach to academics from our expert faculty and an enriching and structured boarding life program that continues beyond the school day. Whether it is in the classroom, on the field, in the dorm, on the slopes, or volunteering in the community, everything is a life-enriching experience. A student's time at The Leelanau School is an engaging, unique, memorable, and life changing experience. A Leelanau education equips students with the educational, physical, and social tools necessary to succeed in today's competitive world.
