Overview
La Lumiere School is an independent, co-educational boarding and day prep school located in La Porte, Indiana.
Founded in 1963, La Lumiere serves students in grades 9-12 who come from as close as five minutes' drive and as far as the other side of the globe.
Our day and boarding programs both offer rigorous academics and myriad opportunities for growth in confidence, self-awareness, compassion, and ownership of personal experience.
Each day brings with it a sense of wonder-our campus is situated on two lakes and vast woodlands, which makes it an exceptional place to live and learn.
Marquette Catholic High School is an educational community that promotes academic excellence rooted in Gospel values and the Catholic faith.
We are an institution that values each student as an individual with unique intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical, and social needs.
As such, we are also committed to maintaining and extending a welcoming spirit to students of all religious traditions.
Our goal is to challenge our students academically, to deepen their faith, and thus enable them to responsibly serve their families, civic and church communities.
As a means of fulfilling our mission, the entire Marquette community will always seek to maintain focus upon these core values: faith, honesty, leadership, respect, and service.
The school extends to students of all faiths the principles of Christian living and seeks to develop in students a faith response to God and also an awareness of such ideals as truth and honor.
The school promotes academic excellence, creativity, and leadership development within each student.
