LAKELAND MONTESSORI SCHOOL HOUSE

LAKELAND MONTESSORI SCHOOL HOUSE is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the POLK school district, located in LAKELAND, FL with about 102 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, LAKELAND MONTESSORI SCHOOL HOUSE has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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.

LAKELAND MONTESSORI SCHOOL HOUSE, located in Lakeland, Florida, is a dedicated educational institution that operates on the core principles of the Montessori method. Serving students from primary levels through middle school, the school emphasizes a child-centered approach that fosters independence, self-motivation, and a lifelong love of learning.
