About Lakeview

Three generations of Montessori excellence.

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

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.

Our Philosophy

Follow the child.

Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori more than a century ago, the Montessori method offers a scientific, developmental approach to education — one that respects each child as a capable, curious individual.

Our environments are designed for beauty, order, and reality. Children choose meaningful work, repeat it until mastery, and discover that learning itself is a deeply joyful act.

  • Respect for the child, the environment, and one another.
  • Independence through carefully sequenced, self-correcting work.
  • Community across mixed ages and abilities.

About Lakeview

A community built over three generations.

Lakeview Montessori was founded on a simple belief: that children, given a thoughtful environment and respectful adults, will reveal a remarkable capacity to learn. Today our school continues that tradition with a faculty of credentialed Montessori guides, small class sizes, and an exceptional teacher-to-child ratio.

We serve families across the Eastside and prepare graduates not only for their next academic step, but to become contributing, compassionate members of their communities.
