Explore our Toddler community, which serves our youngest learners until they reach about 2 1/2 years of age and move into one of our three Children’s House classrooms for ages 2 1/2 – 6. Both programs provide children with a rich environment tailored to their developmental stage and opportunities to learn practical life skills, foundations of math, language, and culture, and sensory experiences at every turn.
Our Lower Elementary (grades 1-3), Upper Elementary (grades 3-6) and Adolescent (grades 7-8) students receive an AMI Montessori education that allows them to dig deeply into their interests and do purposeful work with hands-on materials and real-world experiences.

A Montessori Morning
Explore a four-year-old’s three hour work cycle in a Montessori classroom.
Choosing his own work, or shaping it to a considerable degree, following that work through to completion, while working independently or in cooperation with others, the Montessori child identifies his interests and develops his individual gifts.
“Independence is a necessity if the child’s drive to develop is to be realized.”
— Maria Montessori, Childhood to Adolescence
