ABOUT NORTHERN LIGHTS SCHOOL

The Past
Northern Lights School is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 by a group of dedicated parents seeking an educational foundation for their children that would nurture whole-child development and a life-long love of learning.  We have provided an alternative educational experience for area children for over 20 years and have offered parents a supportive community in which their children grow into confident and compassionate adult inspired to create positive change in the world.
​
The Present
Northern Lights School has an exciting new home at a beautifully renovated school building at 26 Trudeau Road in Saranac Lake, NY offering early childhood education and continuity of care for infants and toddlers. 
​
We are a certified NYS daycare, offering programming for infants and toddlers and a preschool.  We strive to provide families with education, support, and community.  Northern Lights faculty are members of the Waldorf Education Association of North America.  
​
Community service is one of our core values.  Parent support through free educational parent evenings, community forums, and childbirth classes are all central to this mission.  This has proven more difficult through this pandemic, but not impossible as we strive to help each other through these stressful times.
