Because we stay intentionally small, we’re deliberate about who joins. We look for families who value deep learning and holistic growth.

Kids who thrive here

Kids who thrive here

Our approach works for many kids, but it works best for the ones who:

  • Show kindness by including others and treating people with care

  • Work well with others, teaming up naturally in play and projects

  • Stay open, always ready to try something new

  • Keep going when things get hard, without giving up

  • Ask questions because they genuinely want to understand

  • Work independently when it makes sense for their age

Families who’ll find Lumos a fit

Families who’ll find Lumos a fit

Our school is a good fit for families who read about Lumos and think, this is it. This is what school should feel like. You’ll probably fit right in if you:

  • Want both challenge and joy: You have high expectations, but not at the cost of your child’s excitement.

  • Prioritize curiosity over compliance: You want a child who thinks and asks questions – not just one who does what’s expected.

  • Value real attention over extras: You’d choose a teacher who truly knows your child over a flashy campus.

  • Support early agency: You want your child to learn how to steer early – not just ride along.

  • See change as an opportunity: You know the world is changing fast – and you’re glad to be part of a school that grows with it.

  • Use technology intentionally: You want a childhood full of presence, not one constantly lit by screens.

Step 3: Getting to Know Each Other

Once we’ve read your application, we take time to get to know each other better. This might include another conversation with both parents, a chat with a teacher, and time with your child. It’s about building shared clarity. You get a feel for how we work, and we learn more about your child.

Annual tuition *

Personalized learning costs more. But with backers who prioritize purpose over profit, we can offer what most schools can’t: rare student-teacher ratios and real attention. We’re not optimizing for scale. We’re building the education kids actually deserve. The goal is simple: world-class, nothing less.

We offer limited financial support in year one. We are building the school carefully and keeping the model sustainable.


If Lumos feels like the right fit but the fees are a stretch, tell us early. We will be transparent about what is possible.
