Overview
The Montessori Center's mission is to prepare students to be life long learners and responsible citizens of the world community.
Through the use of montessori methods and philosophy, an individualized approach in multi-age groupings encourages developmentally appropriate learning of academics, and social and life skills.
All children are given the freedom in a structured environment that is nurturing, child centered and supportive to develop their gifts and pursue their interests.
Seven Peaks School is an independent IB school serving preschool through grade 8, located in beautiful Central Oregon. At Seven Peaks School we see children not only as who they are, but as who they are becoming.
In our Seven Peaks School community, we prepare every student every day to achieve their highest potential through a depth and breadth of learning opportunities, including the International Baccalaureate program and Design Thinking principles.
In a world where personalized learning matters, Seven Peaks stands out as a place where individual attention is a priority.
Our students are not just learners; they are thinkers, doers, and world-changers in the making.
We believe that students learn best in a nurturing environment that is safe and inclusive, open to new ideas, encouraging of diversity, and devoted to fostering personal integrity and concern for others.
This is where lifelong learning begins, and it starts with the unwavering engagement of our dedicated teachers and students.
