St. James School vs. Montessori School Of Iowa City

St. James Catholic School provides a well-rounded education in a cooperative effort to prepare students for a life-long learning of their Christian faith.

Our goals and commitment to Education remain the same on the inside, even tho' our look on the outside is changing.

The Montessori School of Iowa city is a school which follows the Montessori educational principles of providing child-directed, individualized, hands-on learning within an environment especially prepared to meet the developmental needs of the two- to 12-years-old.

The school seeks to educate the whole child by meeting the social, intellectual and emotional needs of each individual; to foster student self-respect through experiencing success and independence; and to generate a sense of community among children, teachers, families, and school.
