Primary

Preschool children possess a remarkable ability to absorb the world that surrounds them. Maria Montessori believed that the years from three to six are the MOST critical period for nurturing a child’s natural curiosity and for laying the foundation for all future development.

Elementary

At six, there is a great transformation in the child, like a new birth. The child wants to explore society and the world, to learn what is right and wrong, and to explore meaningful roles in society. The child of this age wants to know how everything came to be, the history of the universe...

Tuition

Tuition is based on a full year's enrollment from August to May. All payments apply to the entire year's tuition. Phasing in, short months, vacations and absences do not affect tuition.
