We welcome meaningful contributions from the community to Lakeview Montessori School in Tecumseh. Donations help create enriched learning environments where students can grow, explore, and thrive. Your generosity helps make it possible.
Inspiring Change Through Philanthropy
Lakeview Montessori School’s Inspiring Change Through Philanthropy Program is dedicated to creating meaningful impact through giving, engagement, and community support. Focused on education, school development, and student wellbeing, this initiative helps provide the resources needed to support children and families.
A donation of $200 can go a long way in helping expand programs, enhance learning environments, and provide students with enriching educational experiences that nurture curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Why Giving Matters
Lakeview Montessori School may be smaller than publicly funded school systems, but it continues to make a meaningful impact through a unique educational approach rooted in both innovation and tradition.
Montessori education allows children to grow and develop at their own pace while learning that independence exists within a strong sense of community. Each child is supported in becoming a confident, capable individual who contributes positively to the world around them.
As an independently funded school in Ontario, Lakeview Montessori School does not receive provincial government funding. Community support plays an essential role in helping us continue to provide exceptional Montessori education opportunities for children and families across Windsor-Essex.

2017-2020 Pushing the Boundaries Campaign
Lakeview Montessori School may seem like a small part of the broader network of publicly funded schools, but our impact on the community is significant. Through a unique approach to education that blends innovation and tradition, we continue to provide meaningful learning experiences for children and families across Windsor-Essex.
Montessori education places the child at the centre of learning. It allows students to grow at their own pace while understanding that independence exists within a greater sense of community, where each individual can make a positive impact.
As an independently funded school in Ontario, we do not receive provincial government support. While we are independent, we are not exclusive. We believe every child should have access to a Montessori education. Until that becomes a reality, we rely on community support to continue offering this innovative educational option in Essex County.
