our mission statement

Lexington Montessori School provides a high quality Montessori education for children in preschool through sixth grade. Our goal is to encourage the full realization of each child’s potential and capabilities.

Lexington Montessori School (LMS) is an independent Montessori school. Our teachers are committed to the school’s mission of serving the whole child, allowing each child to develop as a complete person, and encouraging the full realization of the child’s potential and capabilities.

LMS strives to follow the central precepts of the Montessori method in several ways:

• LMS teachers are committed to understanding and implementing Montessori theory, which is exemplified by the high level of specialization and training among our faculty.

• The classroom environments are well equipped with developmentally-appropriate, didactic materials that are Montessori-designed or fit within the scope of Montessori theory.

• We offer numerous enrichment activities, including field trips and service learning opportunities, that extend beyond the classroom and broaden the spectrum of study for our students.

Using this multifaceted base of educational experience, LMS is committed to maximizing the individual potential of each child as they develop the self-reliance, self-image, and personal responsibility necessary to create the peaceful world Maria Montessori envisioned.

The Lexington Montessori School faculty, administration, and executive board recognize the extremely important role families have in the development of children. We will continue to work enthusiastically with families in our quest to serve each child’s needs.
