Excellent education that fosters love and learning and diversity not only in the student body but in the styles of learning
The Montessori program is amazing. The teachers and faculty are so dedicated to the students and the school encompasses and promotes peace, love and unity for all.
LCS really nurtures the independent and cooperative mind and love for study, work, and creative play. I have never seen any school like this.
From 3 years old through Jr. High children are taught to love and respect each other, their community and the earth. The Land school provides a unique opportunity to learn about food and how to use our land to grow and nourish a community.
Lake Country School is a superb Montessori program. The Junior High, the Land School, the diversity of the student and parent community, the training and commitment of the teaching staff are some of the highlights, but the list could go on and on!
Lake Country School loves and respects children, and the Montessori method supports children's learning styles at all developmental levels. As a result, the graduates of Lake Country School are well grounded, enthusiastic learners ready to live productive lives.
This is an extraordinary school community with an awesome sense of love and respect for children. It is just 33 years old, founded in 1976, but has an international reputation for excellence in Montessori Education. Staff tend to stay for many years as it is a rewarding experience to work in this environment where children love to work and play together, modelled by a group of teachers who value the same and make it a point to do just that. I have been teaching at LCS since 1977 and have taught many children of children I taught in the earlier years. Some of those early students are now Montessori teachers at Lake Country. This is an AWESOME Community!
My kids love school and empowered by the skills they've learned, the hands-on experiences they've had, and the trust and respect they've been shown. I love the commitment of the staff, the strong community spirit, and the passion with which kids and adults alike approach their work. Plus, it is a beautiful place to be!
LCS knows there are no two kids alike, so presents everything multiple ways for multiple learning styles. My kids went on to other schools well prepared for whatever was required of them.
Lake Country School loves and respects children, and the Montessori method supports children's learning styles at all developmental levels. As a result, the graduates of Lake Country School are well grounded, enthusiastic learners ready to live productive lives.
I so love this school because I have the pleasure of watching students grow up from three years old to become Montessori guides right beside me.
Wonderful, nurturing environment for my children. LCS is a great community encouraging academic performance while developing a child's awareness of aesthetics and the world around them. Love this school!
