About Lakeview
Lakeview Montessori School is a nurturing, prepared environment where each child develops independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning — guided by certified Montessori teachers.
Mission & Vision
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.
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
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.
Learn MoreCurriculum
The Montessori curriculum encourages children to learn through hands-on exploration, independence, and discovery. Practical life, language, math, science, geography, art, and movement are introduced through carefully prepared materials that support each child’s curiosity, confidence, and growth at their own pace.
