The Future is Bright
Two videos brought our school's mission to life during the 2022 Bright Futures Gala. "The Junior High Move" celebrates an historic moment in the growth of our school and "The Future is Bright" features our students - the very reason our school exists and why we give to our Bright Futures Fund. Enjoy these videos below!
Independence, a fundamental concept within Montessori education
This video series illustrates how independence is fostered in each of the classrooms at The Children’s House. Our classrooms have intentional and developmentally appropriate ways to foster independence at each age level. We hope this series sparks your interest and desire to learn even more about Montessori and how your child benefits from their prepared environment.
