The Lamplighter School has been the beneficiary of strong philanthropic support since its inception in 1953.
During those earliest days, the school’s founders, Natalie Murray and Sandy Swain partnered with city leaders and Texas Instruments founder, Eric Jonsson, to create an independent school that filled a niche in Dallas providing exceptional education for the youngest learners.
Because of the steadfast commitment of past and current donors, Lamplighter continues the tradition of providing an unparalleled education through forward-thinking and innovative programs in a nurturing, joyful, state-of-the-art academic environment.
Your support provides Lamplighter students an educational foundation that inspires the love of learning for a lifetime.
Dedicated to igniting the potential in each child, Lamplighter engages young children in the joy of learning through intellectual discovery in a creative, inclusive, and collaborative environment.
The Lamplighter School is an independent, co-educational day school for students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. Lamplighter offers a warm and supportive environment which inspires interest, enthusiasm, and self confidence while pursuing academic excellence.
A community of varied voices will strengthen the education of Lamplighter students and enrich the lives of all of its members. Lamplighter will, therefore, strive for the lamps that we light to reflect the ever-changing community in which we reside. We value individuality and encourage all children to reach their potential, while respecting their similarities and differences. We are united in purpose and committed to working together to accomplish the mission of The Lamplighter School.
