Our belief in God and His Word is central to SCA. Through a faculty who practice a personal and active faith, we foster a thoroughly Christian environment where God's Word is the standard for decision making. Placing Christ at the center of all enables us to educate the whole student, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, socially, and physically. Pursuing grace and truth SCA seeks to model the life Christ demonstrated on earth, a life full of grace and truth, that rejected legalism for the higher priority of focusing on the inner man. We recognize that Christ looks inward at the motivations of the heart and pursues a relationship with us. We exercise spiritual discernment, speaking the truth in love in order to promote the spiritual growth of the individual without compromising the student

Maria Montessori was one of the first educators to understand the overwhelming influence of environment on the development of children. A rich and captivating childhood environment enhances development and positively affects children throughout their lives. The philosophy that she developed over 100 years ago is based on the principle that children naturally love to learn. At Lakewood Montessori we also embrace the notion that care of the environment, peaceful coexistence with other people and the understanding of other cultures are all essential to the education of children. Lakewood Montessori Preschools have full-time, year-round, professionally delivered educational programs for children age 6 weeks to 6 years that will exceed your expectations.
