What Nantucket Lighthouse School means to Kerry
"Nantucket Lighthouse School offers children and families a one-of-a-kind educational experience that truly nurtures the whole child. Children are embraced for who they are in an environment that encourages kindness, creativity, problem-solving, and cultivates a caring community. Nantucket Lighthouse School embraces the magic and pace of childhood, building a lifelong love of learning. I’m proud to be part of NLS as a faculty member and parent."
