Bergamo Montessori is a private, independent Montessori school for children ages 3 to 14 years.
We want children to learn for the joy of it - not to please adults.
Our mission is to spark the natural curiosity within each individual child, creating excited, independent learners.
Our students express themselves politely and confidently with excellent interpersonal skills.
We assist and teach them to solve problems and conflicts, so that eventually they can do so without the help of adults.
Children want and need to experience the world on their own.
We give them the necessary tools, guidance and opportunities to develop independence and self-reliance in a supportive, caring environment.
