Opened in 1878, the University of Liggett School is the oldest private and secular co-educational school in the state of Michigan. Serving the community of Grosse Pointe Woods, the University of Liggett School also represents 60 zip codes across Southeastern Michigan and is dedicated to offering an outstanding education to over 600 preschool through 12th grade students.
The University of Liggett School has remained committed to advancing self-discovery among students, developing leadership skills through reasoning and the spirit of individualism.
Providing students with a supportive learning environment, the University of Liggett School's mission is "to help young people more completely realize that which is within them," using inquiry and self-reflection.
The red, white and blue Knights compete valiantly in athletics programs, and have won or competed in Michigan High School Athletic Association state championships in ice hockey, basketball, baseball and softball.
Maintaining a vibrant theater and arts program the University of Liggett School stages two major productions annually and has received national recognition for its drama department that operates a part of the school's stunning Manoogian Arts Wing.
Helping students successfully manage the trajectory of their lives, the University of Liggett remains a passionate advocate for freedom and independent thought.

It's pretty good, wouldn't trade it for another school. Their unique aspect of bringing the school together and making it function so smoothly really sits well with me.
9/6/2023
Terrible. Kid spent 2nd grade to 8th. Adopted child that needed a little more attention which we were supposedly going to get. One would expect to get for $25k a year. Then told with a month left in 8th grade that they were not offering her a spot in 9th grade. They were going to tell her without consulting us but we got wind of it. How do they not know that quite a bit earlier if they are a private school and in tune with their students. Should have been told that in 7th grade so she could do better or we could prepare for the change.

I really like the relationship the teachers have with the students and how they truly care about you and want the best for you.

I am a past student, went here for five years so, to the people in these reviews claiming the negative reviews are just jealousy, no. no they are not. Liggett is so overpriced for both the education and the environment it provides. Student and teachers alike at this school do not care about educatio...

Liggett is a great college prep school (if you can afford it). I am very lucky to have the privilege to attend Liggett. The overall experience of going to Liggett isn't great if you aren't big into sports as you are required to play 2 per year during high school and it is safe to assume 90% of stude...

University Liggett School has been a great school for my children. My oldest who is in college now was ready and well prepared. The school community is warm and caring and a great atmosphere for all families. Students learn to find their passion and reach for their potential. One of the things I lov...
10/9/2017
Liggett is warm and inclusive. Students are encouraged to ask questions, follow their interests and conduct research - rather than memorize and regurgitate rote information. The way that school should be!
