Lakeview Montessori on the Hill offers 3 sessions to accommodate the needs of the various ages of students in the classroom:

Half-Day Schedule / 8:30am - 12:00pm
Well suited for your child's attention span
and physical endurance.​

Extended Day Schedule / 8:30am - 2:30pm 
Open to students who exhibit a
readiness for a longer workday.​

Full Day Schedule / 7:00am - 6:00pm
To meet the needs of working families

It is ideal for a student to continue until after they turn 6 years old. The second year of the extended day program is considered their Kindergarten year, after which they may enter first grade at another Montessori, private, or public school.

  • Complete and submit the LMS application with a $75 non-refundable application fee.

    Please submit one application for each child. If an opening is not immediately available, your child's name will be placed in the appropriate class waiting pool. As soon as an opening is available, a child-teacher meeting and parent orientation will be scheduled to determine the child's readiness, class placement and date of admission.

    Upon acceptance, the child is enrolled at LMS. Placement is determined in part by the needs of the classroom.

  • Must follow all enrollment procedures.

    All returning students are given priority enrollment.

    An annual re-enrollment fee of $60 (per child) is due upon re-enrollment. This fee is non-refundable.

  • The (1) enrollment fee, (2) activity/supply fee and (3) deposit are due upon enrollment.

    1. The enrollment fee for new students is $100 and is non-refundable.

    2. The activity/supply fee is $250 per child and is non-refundable.

    3. The deposit is equal to one half of a full month's tuition and is held until the child is withdrawn.

    The deposit is strictly non-refundable except for school initiated dismissal while in attendance, unless a 30 day written notice of withdrawal is given.

  • A Montessori class is ungraded and the children within the environment range in age. As a result, a child can work with older children in one subject, with younger children in another, and still have social interaction with children their own age. As an individual, the child is not dependent on others in their group for intellectual or social growth.

  • LMS adheres to an open door policy, meaning that parents are welcome and encouraged to visit the school at any time during regular school hours. Parents may observe from the classroom door anytime they wish to do so, although prolonged periods of observation are by appointment only.
