Latin American Montessori Bilingual PCS

Open Since 2003 Grades PK3 - 5
Latin American Montessori Bilingual (LAMB) PCS embraces the Montessori philosophy that every child is a natural learner. Our mission is to create a self-directed learning environment in which children build a foundation of knowledge essential for a lifetime of learning, with the goal of biliteracy in English and Spanish. We combine Montessori with language immersion to create an educational environment. Science, social studies, math, language, art, music, movement, character, and community development are all integrated within a holistic learning process. At monthly Peace Ceremonies, students present projects and performances to the community to demonstrate the connection between their academic learning and their concept of themselves as “peace ambassadors.” LAMB’s reach goes far beyond its school walls with outdoor learning, camping, nature walks, and field trips. At LAMB, students excel academically while demonstrating respect for self, others, and the environment.

School has multiple campuses.
