The Leelanau School is a co-educational non-profit boarding high school located in Glen Arbor, Michigan. The school was founded in 1929 and has a historical association with Christian Science. The school is a small, college-preparatory school with 42 acres (170,000 m2) of land with 13 year-round and 9 seasonal building structures. The school has a teacher-to-student ratio between 1:3 and 1:10 for most classes, ranking among the top 20 American boarding schools in that category.
The school is located on the shore of Lake Michigan just outside Glen Arbor, with the Crystal River running through the property. The Lanphier Observatory, with a 13-inch (330 mm) Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector telescope, is also located on the grounds.
