Mission & Vision

Inspiring joyful discovery. Creating meaningful futures.

The Mission of Lakeview

Lakeview Montessori School — located in Kirkland, Washington — offers a classical Montessori education that nurtures each child’s individual development. Teachers provide a caring and engaging environment where children develop a life-long love of learning. Children are empowered and delighted by the didactic materials as they develop a concrete foundation on which intuitive and permanent understanding are developed.

The Vision behind Lakeview

Built upon three generations of Montessori education on Seattle’s eastside, Lakeview Montessori School strives to perpetuate a tradition of educational excellence. The goal is to develop an academically, socially, emotionally, and culturally educated community of students. We strive to prepare children not only for future educational endeavors, but also to become contributing and compassionate members of the immediate and global communities.

The Montessori Philosophy

Intelligence, Creativity, and Character

Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori — Italy’s first female physician — the Montessori method has guided children’s education around the world for nearly a century. Rooted in scientific observation and child development, her approach created a thoughtful, hands-on learning environment that continues to help children grow with confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
