Inclusion

LOLMS proudly harbors a community of people - students, teachers, parents, guardians, families and faculty - from a wide range of backgrounds. Our belief follows that the intersections of our identities, as families and as individuals, are what strengthens and nurtures the integrity of our school family. Holding space for the varieties of occupations, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, ethnic and racial backgrounds, philosophies, and socioeconomic capacities each family contributes to our school body is essential to our childrens’ development as the future leaders, thinkers, innovators, creators, and caretakers of our world. It is imperative that their education prepares them to incorporate their interests and knowledge within the contexts of their own life and are committed to uplifting, nurturing, and supporting all members of our community to ensure their comfort, safety and stability while enrolled at LOLMS.

Multicultural Practice

A multicultural approach to learning is rooted in the Montessori curriculum and applied each day in our classrooms. Lessons require students to connect the classroom with individual life experiences. We encourage students to ask new questions and find answers for themselves. Students learn to form and defend their own ideas and opinions while respecting the views of others. We value their voices and make it the center of their learning
