Peace Montessori School adheres to the spirit and practice of Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator.
The Montessori teaching system is a proven method for success in early childhood education.
The Peace Montessori School elementary program is based on developmental needs common to 6 to 9 year old children (K-3) and is also highly individualized.
Our goal is to help the child become an independent, inquiring, and confident person.
