Many families fear that sending their child to boarding school means missing out on special family moments, but we’ve learned the opposite is true.
Parents of boarding students at La Lumiere School have said time and again that their relationships with their children have, in fact, been strengthened by their decision to send them to boarding school. Parent-child conversations become more robust, they say — more about their student’s meaningful thoughts and experiences instead of about the mundane.
This maturity plays an important role in college readiness. For years, the faculty at La Lumiere School have witnessed firsthand the preparedness of its boarders when they leave for college, having gained invaluable time-management and life skills as a result of living in a school-centered environment during their formative years.
Surrounded by adults for whom raising children is both a profession and a life choice, boarders are guided through life’s challenges with a variety of perspectives and a gigantic family of mentors and friends to support them along the way. Their recreational, extra-curricular, and social activities are built-in and executed in a safe, structured setting. For boarders, “family” time isn’t just a requirement — it’s part of their lifestyle.
To encounter it all in an environment where every community member values genuine personal growth and mutual support along the way? They’re afforded an immeasurable life experience.
So, what makes families say “yes” to La Lumiere?
For both boarding and day students, it’s more than classroom education. It’s the quiet beauty of the wooded campus, the spirit of togetherness, the genuine compassion found in the heart of every Laker. It’s the knowledge of belonging to something bigger, the hunger for truth, and, most importantly, the feeling that when you’re here, you’re home.
