Curious Heads, Working Hands

Lake Country School is a Pre-K through 8th independent Montessori school that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and independence within each child. We are a community that promotes diversity and inclusion, as well as respect and responsibility to self, to others, and to the earth.

With an Urban Campus in South Minneapolis and a 160-acre Rural Campus in Dunn County, Wisconsin, students have a unique opportunity to cultivate a love of learning and stewardship that stays with them forever.

Nestled in the Kingfield neighborhood of South Minneapolis is where you will find our Urban Campus, home to our Children's House, Elementary, and Junior High classrooms.

Our Rural Campus, the Land School, was founded in 1996 on 160 acres in Dunn County, Wisconsin as an extension of our program, offering a unique environment for agricultural education. 

 

Nurture Your Community

50th Anniversary

The 2026-2027 school year marks the 50th anniversary of Lake Country School and the 30th anniversary of the Land School. 

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite all members of the Lake Country School community to fly away home and join us for a year of festivities, reflection, and being in community together. As the year goes on, make sure to keep up to date on key updates and further details regarding various events and gatherings.

It is both a celebration of three decades of program evolution and a forward-looking effort to ensure that the Land School continues to serve generations of LCS students to come.
