Witnessing The Growth in Your Independent Elementary Child

One Day a Moth, Then Transformed!

The ransformation from childhood to adolescence is a positive result of witnessing the growth of your independent elementary child. Parents have spoken of a blooming metamorphosis by the time their student graduates from Lifetime—one of San Diego’s best elementary schools. 

“For years, he was a little kid. Then—BOOM! he became a pre-teen,” one parent told us. 

“And his growth was both mental and physical. He became what we trained him to be.”

How did that happen? 

Your graduating independent elementary Montessori school student has benefited by years of investment in our teaching. Together, we have actively participated in building core traits via a foundational academic, social and emotional framework. 

Parents and teachers have given your child the right start towards maturity, responsibility and leadership. These growth stages have included:

• Learning about themselves and their surroundings
• Building a deeply, finely-tuned understanding of who they are emotionally 
• Determining their strengths and passions, and
• Following their hearts toward becoming the person they have envisioned.

It’s taken us years! 

For your child, though, it’s been quick! 

Their lives have morphed from sensorial and verbal skills towards more conceptual, deeper traits—independence, empathy and a sense of self that transforms them from the pupa stage.

One of San Diego’s Best Elementary Schools

Academics is one reason why you want your child at LMS. We provide rigorous learning coupled with conceptual applications that move at your child’s own speed and curiosity level.

Here’s two more:

• Social attachments where age-range peers transform from learners to leaders and,
• Emotional learning that helps us accept our individual differences.

The Value of an Independent Elementary Montessori Education

In San Diego, there are three paths towards educating your child:

• A faith-based, religious school where ‘belief’ is a component of the curriculum
• An elite, legacy private school or,
• A traditional school, that makes sure everyone learns at the same time.

We respect each of these choices.

We simply take a different path to prepare your child for middle school.
