Grand Lake Montessori: Join Us for a Tour! Now Enrolling for 2025/26

We are offering tours for enrollment for the 2025/26 school year. We also have a few Primary-age spaces available for the current school year (for children 2.6 years and older) for immediate start. Please visit our website for more information and please contact admissions [at] grandlakemontessori.com (admissions[at]grandlakemontessori[dot]com) if you have questions and to schedule a tour. We look forward to meeting you! 

Our toddler program begins at 18 months and our Primary program begins at 2 years, 6 months. We are also starting a Nido/infant program for children 12 weeks and older that we hope will be open later this year!

Grand Lake Montessori school has been serving Oakland families since 1978. We have a beautiful two acre campus in the heart of Oakland with Montessori trained teachers and a tight knit community. The “GLM village” is a place where children can learn and grow, all while developing strong, loving, and respectful relationships with their peers and school adults. This is “personalized education” at its best: fostering resilience, creativity, collaboration, and a life long love of learning. Come and see for yourself what we mean when we say: we are “helping to make childhood a journey, not a race.”
