The world is full of digital distractions. Resea The world is full of digital distractions. 

Research shows that screen-saturated environments (including schools with educational technology) fragment attention, increase stress, and make learning harder. This is especially true for adolescents, whose sense of identity, emotional regulation, and judgment are still developing.

At Nantucket Lighthouse School, we delay educational technology until 6th grade. When students do use digital tools, they learn to use them consciously, not reflexively.

Our No-to-Slow Technology approach prioritizes hands-on learning, unhurried thinking, and deep connection. Here, children have the space to explore, create, and grow fully—learning through play and real-world experience.
Winter Celebration reminds us how far we can go - Winter Celebration reminds us how far we can go - 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 

Each December, we take the stage at @nantucketdreamland to share stories of kindness and community. 

This cherished tradition captures the spirit of connection and belonging at the heart of Nantucket Lighthouse School. ✨
