School Philosophy and Mission

"The development of personal dignity and ability in each child no matter how young, is one of the most valuable and permanent benefits of Montessori. For the past 30 years, Big City Montessori has successfully provided a safe and nurturing environment for children. We respect the individuality of each child while allowing him/her to experience a sense of community. Our commitment is to nurture and inspire independent, caring students. Montessori students are guided to have respect for self, for others, for ideas and for their natural environment." Extracted from the Big City Montessori Web-Site
