As we are busy getting ready for our new school year to start, we have to stop and reflect on what a fun and exciting summer we have had. We will soon say "see you later" to our kindergarten friends and begin to welcome our new friends. To our kindergartners who are leaving and going to another school we will miss you. We are very proud of you and know that you will do very well at your new schools. To our kindergartners who are staying with us we are looking forward to having you be the leaders of your school and excited to have you here!! We have a great school year planned and our teachers are excited to have the school year begin.
Please RSVP to our Parent Orientation and dinner on Tuesday, August 17th. 5:00-6:30pm. This is a very infomative and special evening for the parents. I look forward to seeing you all that evening.

Like all Hope Montessori Academy schools, the Lake
St. Louis campus community nurtures each student’s fullest
potential while encouraging independence, self-assurance, self-motivation,
respect for others, and a love for learning. The trained Montessori
teacher creates opportunities for individual children in a mixed-age
community in which each child acquires and applies a breadth of
skills during a three-year learning “cycle.”
 Our
Lake St. Louis campus is a year-round Montessori school. We offer
a variety of programs to meet our family’s needs, including
a comprehensive, full-time program, as well as part-time morning
classes. We supplement summertime with activities related to the
arts, field trips, nature hikes, swimming, and picnics.
