La Lumiere School is a Catholic boarding and day high school in La Porte, Indiana. It enrolls between 101 and 200 students in grades 9 through 12. The dual model—boarders living on campus alongside day students from the region—is uncommon at the high school level. Faculty work with both groups, which requires flexibility but also builds deeper ties across different student backgrounds.
The school's finances are solid and growing. Fundraising has strengthened, and net assets have grown. This stability matters for faculty: it funds new programs and keeps budgets predictable for long-term planning.
La Lumiere teaches French, Spanish, and English as an Alternative Language. That language breadth sets the school apart from typical college-prep high schools. Faculty also teach core courses in humanities, sciences, and math. Boarding coordinators and residential staff manage the on-campus community. Catholic identity shapes the curriculum and values, though the school does not require faculty to be Catholic.
Compensation includes base salary plus tuition remission—a real benefit for employees with school-age children. Boarding faculty may access reduced on-campus housing. Day faculty receive professional development support and can eat on campus during the school day. None of these benefits alone is large, but together they cut the real cost of living in northwest Indiana.
With fewer than 200 students, faculty know every student by name. Teaching at La Lumiere suits candidates who want real classroom influence and a chance to live in or engage with a residential Catholic community.
