At Lakeview Montessori School, we understand that mental health and well-being are important for student success and directly aligns with academic achievement and social-emotional development. We strive to promote student mental health by creating welcoming, caring and inclusive learning environments where diversity is recognized, respected and celebrated, and where every student is engaged as an active, contributing member of our learning communities.
Montessori education, in its essence, is a pedagogy of acceptance, love, and understanding. We are so very lucky that over 100 years ago, far ahead of her time, Dr. Maria Montessori built a peace education curriculum to support the work of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, and was nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes for her important work.
