At Nantucket Lighthouse School, we educate the whole child—head, heart, and hands—through a joyful, real-world curriculum that inspires critical thinking and responsible action. Rooted in inclusivity and connection, our balanced approach empowers children with the knowledge, confidence, and values to navigate the world with purpose.

For more than 25 years, Nantucket Lighthouse School has honored childhood as more than just a first chapter. For island children in our preschool through seventh grade, is it a formative time to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be. Here, imagination, curiosity, and character are nurtured alongside academics, shaping the generations of tomorrow.

Nantucket Lighthouse School has played a central role in helping children write their own stories. These stories—of growth, discovery, and purpose—are made possible through the generosity of our donors. Every gift, no matter the size, helps turn a page to the next chapter.
