Why ?
Cultivate a Love of Learning
Your child is a bright, capable being with an innate drive to learn. Your child is both an individual and a social being who desires a co-leadership role in their own education. We see that. We nurture that.
We observe children as they learn, make adjustments to a child’s next lesson, and move alongside them. We support students to excel and exceed beyond their imagination. We also know that learning is not linear, that children may want to return to a lesson a few times so that they truly understand rather than momentarily memorize. Montessori education is uniquely designed to support exactly that.
Our mixed-aged classrooms don’t require that classmates be in perfect harmony with their peers; some may move quickly forward and some may seek additional lessons. We combine freedom of choice and movement, individual active learning, and mutual respect. The results are voluntary intellectual occupation and emotional balance. Our goal is to encourage a love of learning in our students of all ages.
Our Programs
We offer programs for children ages 4 years to 8th grade
“The first time I walked into the school, I was hooked. The classrooms were so beautiful. I’ll never look at regular school the same way. This is the way learning is supposed to be.”
- Madelaine Tayler, Parent
