Stay open, always ready to try something new

Work independently when it makes sense for their age
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.
We believe in building a diverse community, including families who cannot afford our full fees. While our general financial aid allocation for the incoming school year is fully committed, we are dedicated to building an age- and gender-balanced founding cohort. For this reason, we have reserved additional financial aid specifically for families enrolling a curious, kind, and motivated girl born between 2013 and 2015, along with any siblings joining her.
If Lumos feels like the right fit for your children, but the fees are not feasible for your family, please reach out to us so we can discuss what’s possible.
