La Lumiere is a premier, small college preparatory boarding and day school located one hour east of Chicago on a spectacular 190 acre campus. Students come to La Lumiere from across the United States and around the world to become part of a school community that is truly one of a kind.

Our rigorous education, personal relationships, and focus on values create a rich learning environment for students. They are well known by faculty, staff, and students from all grades. This familiarity enables our students to make lasting connections, engage in academics, participate socially, and define their paths.

With a student to teacher ratio of seven to one, and an average class size of 11, La Lumiere students enjoy a level of personalized attention that simply does not exist at larger schools.
