Director's Comments
Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.
Children step out of the home into a school community as an individual who will quickly gain confidence and show independence and responsibility.

The school curriculum is designed for a 3 year experience and prepares the child for successful entry into any Elementary School program. Continued education in Montessori Schools is available and appropriate for many children.
