TEACHERS & ASSISTANTS

Our school begins with 3-6 year-old classrooms in the Children's House and ends with Middle School classrooms, in 8th grade. 

In our multiage classrooms:

  • Children learn from other children.

  • Children work at their own levels.

  • Children develop community and collaborative skills as they learn.

Our Children's House and Elementary rooms are staffed with a head teacher and an assistant. For more on the importance of an assistant in Montessori teaching, look here
