Our Values
Three things we honor in every child
Our Mission is to honor the imagination, mind and heart of each child who enters the school. Guided by the Teaching and Research of Maria Montessori, we have created an environment where children are inspired to realize their academic, personal and social potential.

The mindRespected as an individual
Each child is respected as an individual. The daily activities of the classroom community build self-esteem, independent learning and confidence in every child.
The heartPart of a global community
Each child is an essential member of the global community. Through cooperative activities, children learn respect for others and peaceful ways to solve problems.
