WHY DO SO MANY FAMILIES CHOOSE MONTESSORI?

BEYOND ACADEMICS, WE EMPHASIZE "WHOLE CHILD" DEVELOPMENT

We honor the individuality of each child and guide him or her to focus on exploring unique interests. Each child's independence and empathy grow as he or she becomes a valued member of the school community. Your child will practice collaboration and critical thinking, establishing self-confidence with an intrinsic desire to learn more.

...BUT THE ACADEMICS ARE A HUGE STRENGTH

It is common to find four-year-olds reading (in English and in Spanish) , six-year-olds practicing multiplication, and nine-year-olds writing comparative descriptions of ecosystems. Our curriculum presents skills during each child's "sensitive period" for learning and then allows him or her to work at their own pace.

... AND WE'RE A COMMUNITY

Each classroom is a community that extends throughout and beyond the school. We invite parents and community partners into our network of collaboration to support the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child. Because children thrive when home and school work in harmony.
