Celebrating 25 Years
A Strong Foundation
For 25 years, Leelanau Montessori Public School Academy has nurtured the minds and hearts of children by providing tuition-free public Montessori education rooted in curiosity, independence, and lifelong learning.
Whole-Child Education
Our Montessori approach supports academic, social, emotional, and physical development, preparing students to become thoughtful, confident, and engaged members of their communities.
Community Investment
As a public charter school receiving less funding than traditional public schools, community support plays a vital role in sustaining and expanding opportunities for our students.
Looking Ahead
Together, we can ensure that Leelanau Montessori continues to grow for the next 25 years. Every sponsorship, ticket purchase, and charitable gift helps invest in the future of our children.
