La Lumiere School was founded by a group of Chicago and Indiana businessmen in 1963, as an independent Catholic Day and Boarding school with grades 9-12 and a post-graduate year. La Lumiere aims to provide quality college preparatory education for each student in the tradition of the finest independent secondary schools. The founders believed that education and faith should walk hand in hand to engender character and strong academic performance. La Lumiere believes that what distinguishes one person from another is strength of character,inquisitive nature, tolerance, sympathy and leadership qualities. La Lumiere is a school where the fundamental principals of character, scholarship and faith are essential in the preparation of young men and women for the responsibilities and opportunities of adulthood. La Lumiere challenges each student to succeed scholastically, to develop friendships that last a lifetime, and to participate in all aspects of school life. A La Lumiere education allows students to grow into well rounded, confident, and capable adults. Our faculty is comprised of dedicated, caring individuals to whom teaching is not just a job, but also a way of life. With a student to teacher ratio of 6:1 and average class size of 12 students, La Lumiere's unique advantage is the personal attention that brings out the very best in each student. La Lumiere's college preparatory program places special emphasis on critical thinking along with the mastery of oral and written communications. An innovative cross-curricular writing program, competitive science and math departments, and an award winning art department combine to help La Lumiere provide an academic environment with emphasis on the individual learner, shaping the complete student in character, scholarship and faith. Personal attention, extra help and hard work are the hallmarks of success at La Lumiere. La Lumiere graduates have a distinct advantage over other high school graduates: they are trained to think critically, articulate clearly, and take action confidently. La Lumiere's commitment to preparing students for college has resulted in a 100% college placement record. Each student has the one-on-one assistance of a college counselor. La Lumiere begins as a school and ends as a lifetime
experience that students truly value and carry with them for the
rest of their lives. Application deadline: Need-based financial aid available. Transportation:
