Elm City Montessori School

We are a local public charter school serving preschool - eighth grade students. Core to the Montessori approach is a focus on interactive, self-directed learning, and hands-on inquiry in multi-age classrooms that foster creativity, critical thinking, and leadership. Our school is rooted in Dr. Montessori’s vision of social justice. We are committed to building an Anti-Biased and Anti-Racist (ABAR) institution in partnership with staff, families, children, and community. Our developmental approach integrates small group instruction and independent practice with a focus on social emotional learning in a nurturing and academically rigorous environment that builds towards a more just world. We are committed to support our learners in their understanding about themselves, care for their school, nature, and their world.

How to know our school is right for your child:

  • You are excited about the Montessori approach and to be engaged in a family-founded school that is learning, growing, and engaging in meaningful Anti-Bias Anti-Racist work.
  • You value individualized, child-centered, and hands-on learning in a diverse community.
  • Your child will thrive in multi-age classrooms (ages 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, 13-14).

About Our Theme:

  • We are Elm City Montessori School, where we partner with families to build independent learners.
