Partnering with Families to Raise Exceptional Learners.

We believe the real test is life itself.

We believe in the intelligence of every child and that each child has a gift.

We believe school should be a place where this intelligence can be cultivated and fully expressed through purposeful, interesting work.

Our goal is for every child who graduates from our school to love learning for a lifetime.

The Programs

Our Mission

We prepare a Montessori learning environment that supports and respects the development of each unique child and nurtures them to become independent, curious, confident, lifelong learners who strive to contribute to their communities and the greater world.
