Welcome to Lanesborough Elementary School. The school educates approximately 232 students in Grades pre-kindergarten through sixth and is located 16 miles south of Williamstown. The Center for Learning in Action creates academic collaborations between Lanesborough Elementary and Williams College.
This partnership, established in fall of 2015, supports field studies to the Williams campus and partners affiliated with Williams.
The Lanesborough Elementary School partnership with Williams is in its tenth year. There were 36 Williams students engaging with Lanesborough students in the 2024-2025 school year. Academic connections continued with 2 Williams students performing research under the guidance of a Williams professor. Lanesborough Fellows and After School Tutoring paid programs launched in spring 2022. 17 Williams students worked 357.5 hours, focusing on bilingual support and after-school tutoring. Additionally, Lanesborough Elementary students visited Williams at Hopkins Forest, the Milham Planetarium and the Williams College Museum of Art. The Zilkha Environmental Center was a new collaboration this year with interns visiting LES classrooms to share information and do an activity. . A successful partnership year with lots of collaborations!
