We are a Montessori School for grades Pre-Kindergarten (4 year olds) to 6th grade.
In the Montessori classroom, children are encouraged to take responsibility for their own education. In a prepared environment with a trained Montessori teacher, children may move freely around the room selecting materials needed to carry out the child’s plan.
There are 15 classrooms with two or three different age levels in each classroom. In these multi-aged classrooms, older children serve as models for younger children; they also reinforce their own skills by demonstrating them to younger children. Students remain with the same teacher for two or three years, thus allowing the development of a strong sense of community with classmates and teacher.
