A Beautiful Campus: Our warm and inviting Montessori environments feel like home with plentiful natural lighting, cozy reading corners, and gorgeous outdoor play areas.
Students Learning and Cooperating: Each environment promotes practical, real-life activities, including sewing, sweeping, baking, folding laundry, and caring for a garden. All of which develops a sense of responsibility for their environment and promotes concentration, coordination, and independence. Our community of learners care for themselves and their world.
Multi-Aged Environments: The third year in the multi-aged three-year cycle is essential as the older students learn to lead their younger peers both socially and academically. These classroom leaders continue to build on their own skills, refine their work habits, and increase confidence while mentoring their younger friends.
