Philosophy

At Nantucket Lighthouse School, we are committed to the education of the whole
child—head, heart, and hands. Through a curriculum rooted in wonder, beauty,
and real-world experience, we inspire children to think critically, act responsibly,
and engage joyfully with the world around them.

We strive to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning community where
every individual feels a sense of belonging. This approach fosters deep
connections to oneself, others, the community, and the natural world.

Balanced with rigor and care, a Lighthouse education empowers children with the
knowledge, confidence, and ethical foundation to meet the challenges of modern
society with imagination and purpose.
