Welcome to Lifetime Montessori School!

A private Montessori educational preschool, primary + kindergarten and elementary school in Santaluz for ages 18 months through Grade Six, offering carefully crafted programs which blend classroom and real-world experiences to build learners rather than memorizers. Using the Maria Montessori philosophy, children work at their own speed with highly experienced, specialized teachers who give them the freedom to succeed at their own level.

Primary children aged three to six years old are offered an English/Spanish Bilingual Immersion educational Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program to fluently speak both English and their non-native language by the completion of Kindergarten.

Lifetime Montessori School

Excellence in Education

What separates us from other San Diego preschools, primary schools, and elementary schools—whether they're public, faith-based, or private—is our unwavering focus on growth. 

At Lifetime Montessori School, we're dedicated to providing exceptional Montessori programs in San Diego. Our certified Guides create a dynamic, individualized learning experience for children from 18 months through Grade 6. We believe in fostering growth in three key areas: growth in oneself, growth with peers, and growth in understanding the world around us. Through our time-tested, individualized method, we prepare a supportive environment that encourages your child to build confidence, independence, and a deep sense of self.

Why Choose Lifetime Montessori School?

At Lifetime, building your child's academic, social, artistic and intellectual growth is our mission. It is what drives us.
Through individualized learning, our private school stimulates, challenges and creates a ‘whole child’ who loves to learn and express that curiosity—today and for a lifetime. This growth is expressed daily and can be seen and heard at home at the dinner table every night. Your child need not be a gifted school student; in fact, our students are just like any other. The difference is simple: your child excels from our gifted schooling approach. They learn as individuals at their own pace and level—not as a group memorizing for a test.

Our goal is to give your children the tools to succeed on multiple levels as elementary school students, junior high school students and as teenagers preparing for college. Education is about learning and growth. Lifetime Montessori School is focused solely on training students to succeed as adults through curiosity, self-realization and problem solving.

We are now also offering an English/Spanish Bilingual Primary program with limited availability. ... Read More about our Vision and Mission here>
