COO at Lavner Education

Michael Lavner graduated from Brandeis University (cum laude) with a Bachelor of Arts and earned a J.D. from Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law. In 2003, Michael was inducted into the Elite Students of America in recognition of his outstanding academic merit. As a member of this prestigious society, Michael was invited to participate in leadership conferences throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Michael attended and graduated from Germantown Academy, where he made school athletic history as the only 6th grader to ever play a match for the Boys’ Varsity Tennis Team, which he captained his senior year. Playing for Team USA Basketball, Michael won a gold medal at the Pan-American games held in Santiago, Chile, and competed in many national basketball tournaments throughout his youth. Michael and his brother, Justin, were privileged to serve as co-hosts of “The Justin & Mike Sports Show” on 610AM Philadelphia Sports Radio. This program provided a stimulating opportunity to discuss and explore the power and influence of sports through insightful interviews and memorable accounts with nationally and locally renowned guests. Michael attended summer camps from ages 3 to 14, and believes in the impact of providing educational and enriching programs to kids and teens. During his junior year in college, Michael lived abroad as an exchange student in Rome with an Italian family that allowed him to travel throughout Europe. This experience provided wonderful opportunities to explore different cultures and bring important perspectives back home and to Lavner Education. Michael brings his tremendous energy, vision, and expertise to Lavner Education with the singular focus to enrich the lives of our students, families, and team members.
