Logan Learning Lab
Since its creation, The Logan School has worked to inspire students and create community. Coupled with our mission, Logan has sought to expand our impact to those who haven’t traditionally had access to student-centered learning. Gifted students from underrepresented backgrounds face countless barriers to maximizing their full potential, including inequity in gifted identification and support, and insufficient teacher development opportunities. To address these issues, in 2018, The Logan School founded the Logan Learning Lab.
The History of
The Lab launched student programming in the summer of 2018 to make Logan’s unique model accessible to a greater number of underrepresented gifted students - students of color and low-income students, who are both formally and informally identified - from neighboring public schools.
While participating in the Lab, students dive into units of personal interest both on and off campus, then share their discoveries with others. They bring home portfolios showcasing their work, receive personalized resources to help navigate their schools and districts, and may also take advantage of optional cognitive testing at no cost.
The cohort (students and their parents) gathers several times throughout the school year to extend learning and strengthen community. The program is designed to help parents deepen their understanding of their children’s learning styles, giftedness, and the systems and processes for accessing gifted programs and supports.
By engaging in a learner-centered model, parents are invited to reimagine what learning—and school!—can be, while also building their own advocacy through this “two-generation” approach. Tuition, meals, and transportation are provided at no cost.

"Before [my grandson] attended the lab, he had few words to say about school and his excitement centered around playtime and friendships. The summer he first attended the Logan Lab he was SO EXCITED and came home daily talking about what he was learning about and doing. I have never seen this sort of educational excitement before. At the end of the summer I asked him what his favorite part of the summer was and he quickly said, "The Logan Learning Lab" .
"The Logan Lab is important because it has provided my child with the tools and self confidence to embrace his creativity and intellect more. My son has shown skills of leadership, public speaking, acting, critical thinking and the ability to cultivate more with others. My son has expressed how much he loves going to the Logan Learning Lab and being around the other kids because that is his comfort-zone."
We look forward to hearing from you!
