Lake Country School is an independent Montessori school located in south Minneapolis. Founded in 1976, it currently serves approximately 300 children between the ages of 3 and 15 years. It is recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), fully accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), and a member of the Minnesota Association of Independent Schools (MAIS).

We believe that children learn by doing and are lovers of purposeful work, spontaneously chosen and carried out with profound joy. Montessori education attends to the total development of the child - social, emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual.

Important Notice to All Parents Regarding Parking & Morning Drop-Off

Minneapolis has implemented a new winter parking policy, in effect until April 1. There is no parking on the even numbered side of non-snow emergency streets (including Pleasant & Pillsbury Avenues). In order to better accommodate this change, we have implemented a new morning drop-off plan. Please click here to view a map and the details of this new arrangement.
