About Lake Harriet Montessori School

Lake Harriet Montessori School, a nonprofit, parent board operated corporation, was incorporated in March 1982 by parents interested in providing quality preschool / kindergarten education and child-care for their children within a neighborhood setting. Each family becomes a member of the corporation for the duration of their child's enrollment and participates in the operation of the school. We are located in south Minneapolis, near Lake Harriet.

The staff at Lake Harriet Montessori School is committed to providing a fun, engaging learning environment for our students.  In the Montessori classroom your child is free to pursue areas that hold their interest thus cultivating a deeper desire to learn. A Montessori student is motivated by their own inherent inner desire to investigate and explore, the teacher serves as a guide, not as an instructor. Our classroom is a lively area where children are actively exploring and investigating new worlds.
