Scholarshine Lake Forest Montessori is a Montessori early-education campus serving young children. The campus provides classroom-based care and learning designed around Montessori principles for families in the Lake Forest area.
The program uses Montessori methods with a prepared environment, hands-on materials, mixed-age classrooms, and individualized instruction. Instruction emphasizes practical life skills, self-directed learning within limits, and the role of teachers as guides rather than instructors imposing a fixed sequence.

The after-school program extends learning with enrichment activities, provides homework assistance in a supervised setting, and includes cultural exploration through activities and stories.
The elementary classroom emphasises hands-on, individualized learning with opportunities for research, critical thinking, and multi-angle approaches to subjects so students progress based on mastery.
The infant curriculum addresses motor skill and sensory development, language development, music and movement, shapes and colors, artistic development, and periods for play and rest.
Curriculum at the pre-kindergarten/kindergarten level includes motor and language development, imaginative and social activities, introduction to phonics, and early mathematical concepts using Montessori materials.
Summer camps are organised around weekly themes (such as nature exploration, arts and crafts, sports, science experiments, or cultural appreciation) and include related activities, outdoor adventure, field trips, and supervised water play.
