Lamplighters Yeshivah is a Jewish Montessori-style school for Jewish children located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

Lamplighters Yeshivah is one of the 47 plus Jewish Montessori-style Hebrew day schools or yeshivas in the United States. Lamplighters is located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn and is catered to parents from the local Chabad Hasidic community.

The school was founded in November 2009, with just four families. As of the 2016-17 school year, the school has expanded to 131 students in eight classes: two primary, three lower elementary and two upper elementary.

The executive director of Lamplighters is Yocheved Sidof. The Heads of School are Moshe and Rivkah Schack.

The name "Lamplighters" was chosen for the school based on the Hasidic teaching that each person can better the world and "transform darkness into light".

Lamplighters incorporates both Jewish and general topics in their curriculum. Teaching methods are heavily influenced by Montessori educational methods. Lessons often blend traditional Jewish topics with general Montessori activities.
