Mandala

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.
