Laurel School

Founded in 1896, Laurel School is an independent school for girls, Kindergarten-Grade 12, with a coed Early Childhood program. Laurel has two campuses. At our Lyman Campus in Shaker Heights, Kindergarteners begin their journey through Primary School. Third–Fifth Graders complete the Primary years just seven miles away at our 150-acre Butler Campus in Novelty. Girls return to the Lyman Campus for Middle and Upper School to embark on Sixth–Twelfth Grades. The Butler Campus is also home to our state-of-the-art athletics facilities and Ruhlman Family Center, opening in January 2026.
Laurel School is ranked the #1 All-Girls School in the State of Ohio and #27 All-Girls School in America by Niche.com.
