Since 1921, LREI has been a leader in progressive education. From pre-K-12th grade, students develop the tools to explore increasingly complex challenges — intellectual and personal, local and global, philosophical and practical — and build the skills and resolve to pursue real solutions.

Tomorrow’s?What’s Different About LREI? Ambitious progressive education In keeping with our founder’s philosophy, we believe that the ultimate purpose of progressive education is to develop engaged, empathetic, practiced citizens who are active participants in democracy. Intentional equity and community Ensuring genuine equity guides our practice, and reaching it is a shared responsibility. Active participation in just communities begins in the classroom and extends into each child’s ever-widening world. This is hard work, and we re-commit to it every day. Learn More Authentic rigor By learning through experiences — our own and others’ — we ensure that students make meaning from and build knowledge of the world around them every day. Our students work on real problems that require complex solutions, developing persistence, focus, critical thinking and analytical skills, and creativity. Learn More Fieldwork – not field trips LREI students aren’t visitors; they are researchers. They explore the world as their labs, making observations, collecting data, testing theories, and constructing models in order to more deeply understand the ecosystems, cultures, and communities they inhabit. Here, fieldwork means active engagement, and it starts at age 4. Learn More The world is a better place with more LREI graduates in it Confident, versatile, and collaborative citizens — our alumni are fully prepared for the unpredictable future.
