LEAP is a parent-led organization supporting a rich, well-rounded education for ALL children in the Lagunitas School District, including Montessori and Open elementary programs and Middle School. We believe in accessibility, equity, fairness, opportunity and inclusivity. One of our main values is fostering and growing a strong community. Through community-building and fundraising we call upon parents, families, teachers, residents and businesses to inspire lifelong learners and engaged global citizens.
LEAP is 501(c)3 non-profit foundation.

HOW does LEAP decide what to fund?

WHY does LEAP fundraise and HOW can you help?
Do you know that the state doesn’t pay for enriching curriculum like art, music, foreign language, and more? LEAP bridges the gap between state funding and the true amount needed for a rich, well-rounded education for all kids in the Lagunitas School District.
This is where YOU come in. Let’s work together to inspire lifelong learners and engaged global citizens. Learn how you can support LEAP.
