Nantucket Lighthouse School is an independent day school in Nantucket, Massachusetts, serving about 100 students from preschool through eighth grade. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate and designed to engage the whole child—intellect, emotions, and practical learning. The school emphasizes ethical as well as intellectual development and respects each child's individual pace and path. It stresses that a child’s relationship to self, others, and the world is central to emotional growth, with a focus on cultivating compassion, kindness, love, and consideration. The institution positions itself within the primary and secondary education sector as a small, community-based school. In October 2024, the school announced a partnership with MAST Nantucket to support educators’ mental and physical health on the island.
