Campuses and Directions

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.

The Butler Campus features 150 acres of woodlands, waterways, and world-class athletic facilities. All year long, Third-Fifth Grade Primary School students spend their days engaged with hands-on, interdisciplinary learning, while Kindergarten-Second Grade and Middle School students take advantage of the campus during Learning at Butler Days and immersion experiences. Laurel Upper School students and high school-aged girls from all over Northeast Ohio apply for admission into our semester-long Environmental Justice program. Girls in all divisions tackle Butler’s Project Adventure Course, a series of 15 high- and low-rope elements. Butler is also home to our Outdoor Prekindergarten class.
