Caring staff and faculty, beautiful grounds, individualized attention for students, inclusive environment.

I've been at Leelanau for 3 years 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.

Leelanau has given me a place to discover who I am and what I am interested in by reigniting my love of learning. It helps me discover who I am while also encouraging me to be the best version of myself and be a positive community member. Before Leelanau, I had no idea who I was or what I was intere...
