It is our mission at Laurel Hall to develop lifelong learners who know Christ and His teachings and are nurtured in the Christian faith as part of a faith community, who value themselves as competent and confident individuals, who contribute to their community, and who succeed in a changing world.
To accomplish our mission, we guide our students to become: self directed learners who use positive core values to create a positive vision for themselves and their future, set priorities and achievable goals, create options for themselves, monitor and evaluate their progress, and assume responsibility for their actions; collaborative workers who use effective leadership and group skills to develop and manage interpersonal relationships within culturally and organizationally diverse settings; complex thinkers who identify success, integrate and use available resources and information to reason, make decisions, and solve complex problems in a variety of contexts; community contributors who contribute their time, energies, and talents to improving the welfare of others and the quality of life in their diverse communities; and quality producers who create intellectual, artistic, practical, and physical products that reflect originality, high standards, and the use of advanced technologies.

A fantastic choice of private school in the Valley. Small class sizes, purposeful instruction, and a rich variety of electives and sports for the students. The teachers are passionate about what they do, and the administration is extremely knowledgeable and responsive.

There have been some noteworthy changes in LHS programs this year. The Project Lab is fantastic. This is the type of learning environment all schools should have. Its not the 'sit down & be quiet'' environment! Great for my son. They have a teacher dedicated to that program, and a teacher dedicated to math support. The 5th graders (my sons grade) are actually building a boat to launch and to monitor is navigation. Wow! The sports program is well rounded and allows 4th grade and up to compete. My family couldn't have made a better decision that to move to Laurel Hall. My son is happy to go to school so I am a happy mom.
