Our mission at Lake Tahoe School is to nurture a lifelong love of learning in our students with the purpose of developing critical thinkers and articulate, confident leaders for the 21st century. Our commitment to our students and families begins the moment they join our school community and is exercised every day in our classrooms and learning-related activities.
Our faculty and staff share not only their years of experience and expertise, they also have a deep and abiding passion for working with students to help them reach their highest potential.
As you visit our campus, you quickly note that it is one built for students from our dedicated classrooms and labs, to our age-appropriate play areas, to Duffield Hall for athletics and performing arts.
The simple beauty of our setting amidst the pines and mountainous backdrop only enhances the Lake Tahoe School learning experience.
Lake Tahoe School, originally founded in 1997 under the name
Incline Academy with a mission to provide a carefully articulated,
highly academic program, quickly grew, adding grades yearly, into a
Pre-K through Eighth Grade School by 2001. Today, a highly
dedicated team of teachers, administrators, and staff totaling 36
professionals (44% holding advanced degrees) with an average of 10
years teaching experience, sits at the core of LTS`s success. The
student: teacher ratio is 10 to 1 with an average class size of 18.
A dedicated Board of Trustees, steadfastly working to support the
creation of a superlative independent school in the Lake Tahoe
region, helps to guide and support LTS and the Head of School. Its
recent campus renovation and expansion that includes Duffield Hall,
a new athletic and performing arts center, as its cornerstone
greatly benefits the School and entire Incline Village community is
an example of its vision for the future. Lake Tahoe School is
accredited by The Northwest Association of Independent Schools
(NWAIS) and is a member of the National Association of Independent
Schools (NAIS).
50% of faculty have masters degrees. Current teacher to student ratio is 1:6. The School has an academic coach, a reading/writing specialist and class-based enrichment in Art, Music, Spanish, MakerSpace, Science, Outdoor and Physical Education, differentiated learning, interdisciplinary learning, and a new Athletic and Performing Arts Center.
