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.
