In 1972, a group of Lafayette, Indiana area parents joined together to create a Montessori preschool. The founders envisioned a parent-organized, board-run not-for-profit school. For more than thirty years, the Montessori School of Greater Lafayette (MSGL) has provided a quality educational experience for area families.
Our school has grown and matured through the efforts of dedicated individuals. As a not-for-profit school, we depend upon the support and commitment of parents. We encourage all families to participate. Volunteer activities include classroom participation, facility improvement, and management.
In 2001, MSGL moved to its permanent location on Soldiers Home Road. More than 150 children attended classes taught by Montesorri trained and certified staff. The school continues to be organized and operated by dedicated parents.
Lets continue to make MSGL a natural place to grow for our children!

The MSGL Annual Spring Gala and Auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We need your help to make it happen.
This year the auction will be on April 14th, 2012
at the Lafayette Country Club.
The success of the auction also depends upon your individual tax-deductible donations. Parent donations are often some of the most creative and highly-bid-upon items in the auction. Please look over the ideas below and consider an individual donation. Since MSGL is a non-profit organization, all donations are tax-deductible.
