It is a place where one learns to value oneself and to develop healthy self-esteem. It is working together and appreciating the contributions of others through cooperative learning, group work, and our special areas, which are an important and integral part of our total curriculum. Lamplighter is an environment that comfortably encourages intellectual exploration, risk-taking and creative problem solving. Most importantly, Lamplighter is a partnership of parents, teachers and students who come together daily to engage in the best educational processes and practices.AMENITYFounded in 1953 by Natalie Murray and Sandy SwainEnrollment of approximately 465 studentsHalf-day pre-kindergarten through fourth gradeF orty-nine member facultyTwelve-acre attractive campusThirty classroomsFine arts complex with specialized rooms for music, creative dramatics, and visual artErik Jonsson Media Center housing an exceptional collection of over 33,000 volumes of children's literature and materialsPremier early childhood health and fitness facilityExtensive environmental science facilities that include a greenhouse, birdwatching station, nature trail and barn with farm animalsUnique playground that includes a mountain with an underground tunnel and a community of playhouses
