We are a Catholic Montessori school with a Toddler Community of children ages 16 months to 33 months, a Children's House (Preschool through Kindergarten), Elementary, and a Middle School. Our Toddler Community and Children's House have a total capacity of 40 children. Montessori schools promote hands on, self paced, collaborative, joyful learning. Children in Montessori follow their interests, wherever that passion leads; giving them strong academics, leadership, self discipline, responsibility, independence, initiative and a lifelong love of learning. Children are innately interested in learning about the world around them and through their natural curiosity are able to develop themselves. By providing an environment that supports natural development, Montessori education enables children to develop the fundamental capacities that they need to become happy and fulfilled adults who contribute to society.
