Why stay for elementary?
Preparing your child for a future no one can predict
No one knows exactly which skills our children will need as adults. We do know which qualities will carry them, whatever path they choose. A Montessori education at The Children's House develops the whole child, and elementary is where those qualities take root.
Life is the real test. We prepare children for the world, not just the next exam.
Every child has a gift. We believe in the intelligence of every child.
Work that matters. School is where that intelligence grows through purposeful, interesting work.
A lifelong love of learning. That is our goal for every graduate.
