College Preparatory School for Girls in Cleveland, OH

Laurel School:
Laurel School, located on 2 campuses in the Cleveland, Ohio suburbs of Shaker Heights & Russell Township, is a nationally recognized, college preparatory, independent day school for girls from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Laurel School also offers a coeducational Early Childhood Center for 3 & 4 year olds. Our students delight in intellectual and physical challenges and they develop bonds of friendship that last a lifetime. They are young women who become leaders in their colleges, work places, and communities.

No one is invisible at Laurel School. Whether a Middle-Schooler is investigating archeology at our incomparable 140-acre Butler Campus or a Senior is completing a Protege research project at the Cleveland Clinic, learning at Laurel is always active, always focused on each girl. A dynamic community in which academic excellence is as essential as oxygen, we know girls: how they learn, think and feel.

All Laurel girls are smart, but they are smart in lots of ways and, just as we cherish our racial, religious and ethnic diversity, we understand that learning is different for every student. We meet a girl where she begins and, in partnership with her and her parents, invite her to chart her course through the school - with strategies that help her achieve her goals. With tradition as a cornerstone, we continue to innovate and build curricula specifically designed for girls. Laurel is the real world - for each girl, every day.

Academics:
Laurel is a school founded on traditions of excellence and dedicated to futures without limits. For over 100 years, Laurel has graduated self-confident young women who understand that they can have a powerful impact on their world. Our two campuses afford students opportunities to learn in traditional settings such as labs, studios, and libraries, as well as in our unique outdoor environmental classrooms.
