Lakeland Montessori Schools
Lakeland Montessori has reached a major milestone for public Montessori education by becoming the first Montessori accredited public school for children ages 3-15! We are dual accredited by both the American Montessori Society (AMS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS, an accreditation division of AdvancED). All of our programs are accredited and all are public – Early Childhood, Elementary I, Elementary II, and Secondary I. Since inception, our school has continuously striven to demonstrate to our local community, and to the Montessori community at large, that authentic and fully implemented Montessori is possible in the public sector. By becoming a model public Montessori program, we hope to help fully implemented public Montessori schools open, grow, and flourish across the nation!
