The Lamplighter School [1] is a nonsectarian co-ed day school located in Dallas, Texas, USA. The School offers grades Pre-K – 4 and is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest.
The Lamplighter School[1] was founded in 1953 in a North Dallas farmhouse by Natalie Murray and Marieta "Sandy" Swain on what is now the Cooper Clinic campus.[2] In 1969, The Lamplighter School moved to 11611 Inwood Road. The land which the current campus is on was part of 100 acres donated by Karl Hoblitzelle and the Hoblitzelle Foundation to The Hockaday School.[3] Hockaday then leased the land to Lamplighter. In 2011 The Lamplighter School purchased the land from Hockaday for $12.5 million.[4]
