Our Story
Lumin Education was founded in 1978 with the belief that all children, regardless of race or income, can succeed in school and life when we “start young and involve parents.”
From humble beginnings of educating a single class of eight children in a donated space to an expansion that now includes three campuses, serving inner-city children through parent education and daily classroom programs, Lumin Education remains committed to lifting up Dallas communities through one simple idea: education.
We believe that taking an active interest in students and parents pays dividends. We believe in connecting communities and providing resources that grow healthy families and students and ultimately vibrant communities.
Lumin Education has been recognized for our role as a catalyst for an unprecedented increase in public preschool and public Montessori:
- We were the first in Dallas to open a Montessori school available to all children regardless of income or ability,
- The first to open a Pregnancy to Age 3 home visiting program,
- The first in Texas to open a public Montessori charter school, and
- The first to open a Montessori Early Head Start program.
From pregnancy to third grade, Lumin Education is invested in building thriving, self-sustaining families and helping each student achieve his or her potential. Our programs impact over 600 children and their families each year. Take a look at our 45 year history.
