Creating a Real School: Lake Country School Montessori Environments 1976-1996

In the pages of this book, Larry and Pat Schaefer describe the creation of Lake Country School and the first twenty years of its development. The story takes us first to Bergamo, Italy, where the Schaefers took Montessori training courses; then to an established Montessori school in Toronto where they honed their pedagogical skills; and finally to the Twin Cities, where they worked with a community of parents, students, educators, and benefactors to establish a school based on the pedagogical principles of Maria Montessori.
