Lesley Ellis School serves preschoolers through eighth graders in a community that celebrates diversity and is defined by respect for all.
From the moment your child walks through the doors at Lesley Ellis—whether as an intrepid preschooler, eager to spread sprouting wings, or as a recently minted middle schooler, ready to dig deep into bold new ideas—your child will know what it means to belong, to be accepted, and to be challenged.
Every student’s intellectual, physical, social, and emotional growth is nurtured and expertly guided at Lesley Ellis. The robust and flexible academic program allows faculty to meet individual needs of students, while simultaneously developing foundational social and emotional skills.
The Lesley Ellis School program includes an arts program that exposes children to the vast canvas of creative expression available to them and a school-wide Spanish program, beginning in the earliest years. It also offers robust after-school, vacation, and summer programs along with an award-winning anti-bias curriculum that informs all aspects of the Lesley Ellis experience and reminds students that they are part of a larger global community that requires an ever-growing need for understanding and mindfulness.
The faculty at Lesley Ellis are highly trained, committed, and enthusiastic and infuse each student’s experience with meaning and joy. Lesley Ellis teachers enliven an intentional program and community that embraces each child’s unique path, fosters individual and collective growth at every level, and celebrates all manner of achievement.
We love that children thrive at different paces and how every student contributes differently to our vibrant community of learners. Whether in our early childhood, elementary, or middle school program, Lesley Ellis students are invited to bring their whole selves to school each day—just who they are—to be known, supported, and challenged.
Joining the Lesley Ellis community is about parents as well as children. We invite you to explore what it means to belong here as a family and partner with us in your child’s education. We look forward to welcoming you to our close, supportive learning community.
