We focus on experiential learning, citizenship, and close collaboration between faculty and students. The result is action-oriented learning that fosters real change in our students and prepares them to bring about real change in the world.

Lesley University offers undergraduate and advanced degrees that prepare individuals to become leaders in education, human services, the arts, environmental studies and a variety of other professional fields. Lesley is a national leader in quality teacher preparation. The University prepares more teachers than any other private institution in Massachusetts and is one of the largest U.S. providers of graduate programs for educators.

Edith Lesley Wolfard began the Lesley School in September, 1909, for the professional instruction for kindergarten teachers. Those first students gathered in the living room of her family home at 29 Everett Street, Cambridge, at a time when the kindergarten movement was an emerging idea and the preparation of women for careers outside the home a radical notion.

Lesley University today offers programs in 23 states and online, and is among the largest providers of teacher education in the nation, focusing on the educational needs not just in early education, but the preparation of quality teachers in math, science, special education and literacy.

Mission

Lesley University is committed to active learning, scholarly research, critical inquiry, and diverse forms of artistic practice through close mentoring relationships among students, faculty, and practitioners in the field. Lesley prepares graduates with the knowledge, skill, understanding, and ethical judgment to be catalysts who shape a more just, humane, and sustainable world.
