The school was founded in November 2009, with just four families. As of now, the school is shut down due to financial difficulties.
The name "Lamplighters" was chosen for the school based on the Hasidic teaching that each person can better the world and "transform darkness into light".

Educational style

Lamplighters incorporated both Jewish and general topics in their curriculum. Teaching methods were heavily influenced by Montessori educational methods. Lessons often blended traditional Jewish topics with general Montessori activities.
