LMS will move into its permanent location, in 2015, in the Old Shell Point neighborhood in Port Royal. LMS provides an authentic Montessori-based program to students from Beaufort and surrounding counties. In 2014, LMS is serving children from kindergarten through ninth grades, expanding through 12th grade by 2017.
