GREAT WORK MONTESSORI
GREAT WORK MONTESSORI is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1 school district, located in LAKEWOOD, CO with about 125 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. With about 7 teachers, GREAT WORK MONTESSORI has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
GREAT WORK MONTESSORI, located at 5300 West Center Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado, is a public charter school that provides an authentic Montessori education for students from preschool through eighth grade. Dedicated to the philosophy of Maria Montessori, the school emphasizes student-led learning, hands-on discovery, and the cultivation of independence. The campus environment is designed to foster both academic excellence and social-emotional growth, encouraging students to become self-motivated learners who are deeply engaged with their community and their environment.
The school is well-regarded for its commitment to a "prepared environment," where multi-age classrooms allow students to progress at their own pace while learning from and collaborating with their peers. By integrating rigorous core academics with practical life skills and creative exploration, GREAT WORK MONTESSORI aims to develop the whole child. Its location in Lakewood serves a diverse student body, offering families in the area a unique public alternative that prioritizes critical thinking, respect, and a lifelong love of learning.
