Weekly Parent Update

This page will be updated when school resumes in the fall.

May 16, 2025

This will be our final Weekly Parent Update for the school year. Thank you for being such an important part of the LAU community.

Dear LAU Families,

Recently, I have been diving deep into research on the birth dearth. A snippet of family economics I came across showed that increasing the number of family members increases each individual’s sense of value—they feel more needed and experience more belonging because their purpose expands beyond themselves as the number of family members grows.

I believe a powerful education community works the same way. When more students intentionally gather for live classes—actively participating, contributing, and striving for growth beyond themselves—it creates a Transformational Learning Experience (TLE). Each month, as a board, we read several TLEs that LAU students have shared in their classes. Without fail, those experiences happen when students learn to turn their focus outward.

This summer, I encourage you and your student to continue strengthening their educational experience by keeping the focus less on "selfies" and more on "themies." I believe a summer full of "themies" would make LAU one of the most vibrant educational communities in the world!

Cheers,

Molly Foster

LAU Board Chair
