Here’s a study: add twenty minutes to your day and take notes on what more you accomplish. What’s your hypothesis? Will you add value to your life in that twenty minutes, or will you take it for granted, not notice it, watch it tick away—poof! The answer is probably different for each person who reads […]
EYES WIDE OPEN. That’s the parent-school partnership mantra.

That’s what a capstone year is all about, providing leadership opportunities that build courage and CONFIDENCE in these adolescents. That way they are ready for whatever comes next. The southwest trip is a BIG part of eighth grade magic at The Lexington […]
Did you know that in this year’s 143rd Kentucky Derby, over half of the runners were in some way connected with Lexington School families? That’s over half the horses in the big race. And that’s the way it is year after year because The Lexington School has a deep tradition of families who work and […]
What do math, science, history, design thinking, environmental awareness, philanthropy, and 5th graders have in common? Together they build stuff.
