About

The Montessori Summer Program includes outdoor exploration, science experiments, art projects, academic enrichment, STEAM activities, creative arts, and social development. Children take part in morning circle time, hands-on learning stations, outdoor games, creative workshops, and snack time as part of the daily routine.

• Ages: 3–12 years old
• Schedule: Full day and half day options Monday–Friday, with core program hours from 9:00 AM–3:00 PM for full day and 9:00 AM–12:00 PM for half day, and extended hours of operation from 7:30 AM–5:30 PM

The program takes place on the Fulbright Montessori Academy campus, which includes both indoor and outdoor spaces for exploration. Children must be potty trained to attend.

The Montessori Summer Program is led by certified Montessori teachers, with School Leader Maha Beydoun bringing more than 15 years of experience in early childhood education. Fulbright Montessori Academy opened its doors in January 2003 and has been serving families in Lake Forest and across Orange County for more than 20 years. The program is part of a private Montessori school that is a member of the Endeavor Schools network.

The Montessori Summer Program uses mixed-age groups in a multi-age format serving ages 3–12 years old, with small group sizes. It offers an authentic Montessori environment, a curriculum that includes STEAM activities, outdoor exploration, creative arts, and social development, and integrates Reggio Emilia-inspired creativity and Conscious Discipline. A Mandarin Immersion Program is available for children aged three to six, and an Extended Day Program provides care and enrichment before and after regular school hours.

The school serves families throughout the surrounding neighborhoods and communities in the Lake Forest area and is convenient for families in Lake Forest and approximately a 20 minute drive from Irvine, North Tustin, and Mission Viejo.
