Our daughter is a 4 year senior at The Leelanau school. We looked into the school when she was in 7th grade. At that time, what we learned about The Leelanau School really seemed like the kind of education that would be best for her personality. Words cannot describe how fortunate we feel about her experience at the school. The Leelanau School has brought out the happy, engaging, and confident girl that our daughter deserves to be. We are blown away by the dedicated, brilliant and loving staff.

A lot of people go directly from high school to college and are unprepared to live with a roommate and whole community. Also, learning to keep a schedule has also helpe...

This school makes many promises but can’t live up to them. It recruits students with unique needs and then can’t provide the necessary support. When it doesn’t work out they dismiss the student and replace them with the child of another desperate parent—a revolving door. Majority of students at this...
