About

Laurel and Laurel Girls

Laurel School, founded in 1896, is a nationally recognized, college preparatory, independent day school for girls, Kindergarten through Grade 12, with a coeducational Early Childhood program.

Laurel School’s Center for Research on Girls puts the world’s best research to work for girls – at Laurel and everywhere.

Laurel girls are ambitious.

They take risks and welcome intellectual and physical challenges.

Laurel girls are courageous, creative, ethical and compassionate. They are young women who become leaders in their colleges, industries and communities.

They are individuals who hone their intellect, develop their confidence and discover their passions. Laurel girls embrace over a century of tradition and develop bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.

Two Campuses. One Community.

Laurel girls are in the right place at the right time.
At our Lyman Campus in Shaker Heights, Kindergarten, First and Second Graders begin their journey through Primary School. • Third, Fourth and Fifth Graders complete the Primary years just seven miles away at our 150-acre Butler Campus in Russell Township. • Girls return to the Lyman Campus for Middle and Upper School to embark on Sixth through Twelfth Grades.

While we benefit from being a two-campus school that provides flexible indoor and outdoor learning spaces, we are one school when it comes to our philosophical approach to our students.
