Enrollment Open: 2026-2027 K & 1st Grade Cohort
Our Catholic micro-school provides a uniquely individualized, classical and Montessori inspired experience - serving a cohort of less than 10 students who will grow from Kindergarten/1st Grade through the grade levels together. Situated in a quiet Tolland neighborhood, our tranquil, inspiring, and personalized home-based setting is one of our strengths. Our schoolhouse offers two unique classrooms - a traditional classroom and a Montessori inspired classroom.
Our Head of School and Teacher, Mrs. Smith, has a Master's in Curriculum & Design from UConn, is certified in CT & NH in elementary education, and has a decade of experience teaching various grade levels. Led by Mrs. Smith, Our Lady of Light Schoolhouse is able to provide a rigorous, responsive, and nurturing education for each child that is unmatched in both public and private education.
We offer both full and part time enrollment options (half day/full day and the choice of 3-5 days a week) to meet the needs of all families, including homeschool families.
